Default Who can you compare Derek Jeter going back to 1869.

"I get so tired though of all the Sportscasters in the country hyping this guy up like he is Ozzie Smith and Babe Ruth rolled into one guy"

This statement a few posts ago got me thinking.
Ozzie Smith is a Hall Of Famer that was a light hitter
w/ little power but was a great defensive short stop.

Would you rather have an OK defensive player w/ good range
like Jeter that scores 100+ runs a year, always has around 200
hits (has 199 right now)and can get you 90 RBI (has 95 right now)
and hit ya .315 (hitting .339 right now)
OR would you rather have a great defensive player w/ little offensive
#'s?
Give me Jeter anyday over the Wizard
