I don't think anyone is arguing that he is not an outstanding ballplayer. The problem is with the hype that comes with playing for Yankees. As has been pointed out, he could do exactly the same thing and the team win the same number of titles and he would go unnoticed comapred to the hype he gets out of NY. Just imagine if Johan Santana were pitching for the Yankees, we'd be hearing about the second coming of Christy Mathewson. Or a more accurate, all the hype that surrounded Dwight Gooden when he burst on the scene.
