IIRC A-Rod accepted the move to 3rd base to make things smoother between the two of them. He also had this weird run where he tried to be like Jeter for a while. Overall, my memory of the two of them was that even before A-Rod moved to NY, he was definitely a better defensive shortstop than Jeter in both Seattle and Texas. Jeter wasn't, like, Chris Taylor levels of bad at the position and there's a lot of value in having an above average bat in a defense-first position (not as much in OOTP but that's another matter), but even when he was younger he was never exactly Omar Vizquel.
