Recruiting Football Talk VIII

The SEC is no joke. Better buckle up when you're on the road.

USCe is gonna get one of those games eventually.

Strong 7 days for vandy. UK just doesn't defend...

FL is a machine.

aTm... Hope y'all had your cups on...oof. great win for Texas.

Fingers crossed tonight.. But this is gonna beat tough one. Just can't see a repeat of the Florida game....
 
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.
No. 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.
