I think Ivan Rodriguez also doesn't get the attention that he deserves. Guy was the best catcher in history. There, I said that also. The numbers aren't even close IMHO.
You say Derek Jeter was overrated; I mean, YOU ACTUALLY WROTE THAT DEREK JETER WAS OVERRATED!?! Well, all I have to say, and I know it's just whistling in the dark, is that I will stand beside you and scream, "JETER WAS OVERRATED; FURTHERMORE, HE WAS WAY------AY OVERPAID!!!!!!!!!"
