The bigger question about Jeter is in the field. Can he play SS at a reasonable level anymore? They already have 2 guys who should be DH's in Soriano and Beltran. The Soriano/Beltran/Jeter DH combo should be a top 10 DH as well
I don't get Ellsbury.. He had an outlier year in 2011 followed by 2 years of injuries (Hmmm.). He'll hit about 20 points higher than Gardner but basically they have the same production. He will steal more bases but that may be because he has more attempts. He is a better player but not so much to deserve the contract...
