Pete played 3500 games and 24 seasons.
Does Derek pass the record? no but 4k is a posability if he wants it.

Jeter took too long to break in the majors to get the record. He was 22 before his first full season. In order to get the record you're gonna have to be 19-20 when you start. Unless you can bat .370 + for a few seasons.

As much as I'd love to see that, not a chance.
He'll have to continue his production well into his 40s without injury as well as want to keep playing. It would be hard enough to just break the record, but there's no saying he wants to play til he's 43/44.

If he plays until he's 40 and keeps at least a .300 batting avg, he'll get it.
He's a career .315 hitter guys...seriously.

Even if you're including the season he turns 41, he needs to come close to or break Ichiro's record in each of the next 5 seasons.

Oh okay.
Bottom line is, it's is a possibility. He's Derek Jeter.

I'm a Red Sox fan, so that makes the numbers that I'm throwing out irrelevant?

I'll break it down for you, since you obviously didn't do that before making your posts on this page.
Single-season record for hits in a season: 262.
Jeter's career high for hits in a season: 219.
Jeter has 126 hits so far this season, and we're about two thirds of the way through. Let's say he ends up with 200 hits this season, which is probably a little generous. That puts him at 2947 for his career, 1309 short of Rose.
Then you said he'd break the record if he plays until he's 40, aka through the 2014 season. 1309/4 = 328 hits per season.
Then I pointed out how dumb that was, so you changed your answer to 5 seasons. 1309/5 = 262 hits per season, which means you think he's gonna AVERAGE the MLB record for hits in a season for the next 5 years.
Then I pointed out how dumb that was too, and your only response was this stan-like comment:
