looking at his numbers:
Jeter - 255 HR - 313 batting average - 348 SB - 1254 rbi - Good player -
very good player. Not a middle of the order guy, also not a lead off guy and very good #2 hitter.
you know who has almost the same exact numbers with half the at bats - Nomar Garciaparra - 229 HR, 313 average - 936 rbi (about half the at bats)
or even Clemente - 317 / 240hr
larry walker - 313 / 383hr
edger martinez - 312 / 309 hr
tod helton was a way better hitter, 320 -354
Magglio Ordonez - 309 / 294 hr
tim ranes - had a 295 average, 170 RH and over 800 SB
you cant compare him to guys like this - Mantle, Joe D, Berra, Ruth, Mattingly, winfield, maris, gehrig, Rickey Henderson
Yes a 313 average is very good, 3000 hits... yea sure thats good too, but hes played 18 seasons, hes a "singles" hitter usually with a few of the best power hitters in the game hitting behind him ALL his life. I dont remember a time when he was even the best SS in the game let alone the best player.
there are tons of very good players with a 310-315 average with 250-300 hr,
