Derek Jeter was still before advanced analytics took over baseball. You would want to cite an example of someone after 2005 I would presume. As an avid fan, that is roughly the year I remember new terms coming into use that I couldn't calculate or completely comprehend. But they still hadn't overtaken the old school BBWA voters who were the ones casting votes.
The change coincides with moneyball analytics that occurred in the early 2000s.
