Jeff, if you are trying to respond to my comments I don't think you are actually reading them. I never said he was marginally good or anything like that. I also stated in an earlier post that NY press was involved in blasting Arod, I still think it was rediculous for anybody to be blasting him like they did. Projecting stats 7 years into the future is silly, and I will never do that for any player, people did the same thing for Griffey in 1999 and that hasn't turned out to be true at all. Pujols is incredibly dominant (Jeter has never put up Pujols numbers, and never will because thay are 2 totally different types of players.) You keep getting hung up on me not wanting to call Jeter great, so what, in my opinion he is a very good ballplayer, not yet worthy of being called great.

Jay, I also would take Jeter on my team before I took Ripken.
