That is absurd, and I think that if he did it, Girardi would put ARod in a spin. Just when the NY crowds have come to accept him, and when he finally seems comfortable playing in NY, it would be a disaster to put him in Jeter's position. I think the crowds would most definitely express their unhappiness. Geez, the article acts like Jeter's going to be out for the season, when it looks more like 3-5 days.

As for him being over-rated, take a look at any compilation of "Greatest Plays in Baseball" and I can guarantee that there will be, at minimum, three of Jeter's: The Dive, The Flip, and Mr. November.
