RhysDerek Jeter is (in my opinion) The most over-rated player in the history of Baseball. I get so tired of hearing about the intangibles he brings to the table. The fact is that he is a .314 career hitter with about 15 home runs a year, 75 rbi's, and 115 runs. Good stats - yes, clutch player - yes, popular with the ladies - yes, a real difference maker on a team that does not surround him with all stars at EVERY position - NO. If he did not play for the Yankees, nobody would know him or care, and he would not have ANY rings or perhaps not even a chance at making the hall of fame.
I went to BaseballReference.com just out of curiousity to see who REALLY is the most comparable player to Jeter. ANd the answer is........................
Ray Durham
So go ahead, tell me all about the intagibles again and again and again and again and again.
