Jeff LichtmanRhett, no one is dopey enough to say he sucks. But you're saying that a player with over 2100 hits, who just turned 32, who is averaging nearly 200 hits a season for the past 11 years, is just a good player? I'm not a Yankee fan and I have enough clarity and honesty to admit that his numbers as a SS are fantastic over the long haul and he will end up as a first ballot HOF. How many first ballot HOF players are overrated? He hardly gets all the credit for everything the Yankees accomplish. Have you heard of John Wetteland, Mo Rivera and Scott Brosius? Those were the other 3 guys that won the WS MVPs during the Yankees' WS championship run from 96-00. Can't help but notice that Jeter only won one of those. Funny how he didn't win all four considering he gets all the credit for their success. Also, I note in your post that you spent a few words criticizing Jeter and the rest attacking the Yankees. Admit it...you hate them...and hate him because he is their public face.
