Derek Jeter laughed off Hank Steinbrenner's assertion that some New York Yankees were "too busy building mansions'' after winning the 2009 World Series.The Yankees captain, was building a large multimillion dollar home in Tampa last year when New York lost to Texas in the AL championship series after fading in the second half of the season and winding up with the AL wild card. Steinbrenner, the Yankees' co-chairman, made the remark Monday in saying his team lacked hunger last year.
"I understand most of it,'' Jeter said before Tuesday's spring training workout. "The house, I didn't understand. That's a first. That's funny, I think. I'm not moving, so we won't be talking about this again.''
Steinbrenner's specific words Monday were: "I think, maybe, they celebrated too much last year. Some of the players, too busy building mansions and doing other things and not concentrating on winning. I have no problem saying that."
