I havent found one yet that doesnt. <BR/><BR/>I mean, they dont say Packer Captain Brett favre every time they talk about him.<BR/><BR/>Jeter has been deified in NY because he came up through their system and played with them his whole career.

He is not a god, but he is definitely HOF worthy. As a follow up to the post season hits not worth anything. Tell Barry Bonds that. Or maybe the entire 2007 WS Colorado Rockies team. They might contradict that statement.

Yankee fans think Jeter played all 25 positions on the 4 WS Championship teams but seem to forget that he was on the losing teams too - let's blame everyone else but Jeter for losing - how about Arod? <BR/><BR/>Overrated does not say enough. Screw the GG Awards and SS Awards. If Arod was still at short, what would Jeter have? None of them.

He averages 150 games a year, it's still important to play in games right? I think you are way off base here, forget the gold gloves and the MVP votes, he has a career batting average of 0.316 and averages over 200 hits a year for 14 years.

But looking at his career stats, overall as you say they are mediocre. As for the WS and All-star game way of judging him. I think he must of helped those teams get to the WS, so I think a little weighting has to go to those, but the All-star voting is purely a popularity Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-73708357400364399932008-07-01T13:05:00.000-07:002008-07-01T13:05:00.000-07:00I think Jeter is a good player, but def. a bit ove...I think Jeter is a good player, but def. a bit over rated.<BR/><BR/>After reading about his alleged affair with Madonna today, he loses points with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
