No. My argument is that Jeter is overrated because of some huge clutch moments and his high profile with the Yankees.Ha so your argument against Jeter is he played with good players over the course of 20 years?
I love Paulie and Bernie and Tino, Posada - the ones that were there with him for the ride. They were great Yankees. But they were Baseball goods, not Baseball greats.
What’s next? We gonna discount Johnny Bench because he played with Joe Morgan, Pete Rose, & Tony Perez? You know… actual HOF’ers.
Derek Jeter is the 2nd greatest SS of the modern era, and the 3rd greatest SS of all time.
Ozzie Smith is overrated..................great glove. That's allNo. My argument is that Jeter is overrated because of some huge clutch moments and his high profile with the Yankees.
Like I said, he’s a hall of famer. His value, though, was in durability and availability, which shouldn’t be devalued. He was what you call baseball good for a really long time. Above average on offense, below average on defense.
Lots of guys, at their peak, were way better than Jeter though. Garciaparra, Larkin, Reyes, Tulowotzki, Ozzie, Ripken, Arod are just a few.
You saying he’s the second or third best is my point. By the numbers, Robin Yount was better.
