Aaron CowanI will gladly say that I despise Jeter and the Yankees. Its a shame that a better fielding SS has to play third to make room for the pretty boy. However, come playoffs he is pretty ridiculous. As far as taking him over Pujols, Manny, Ortiz, or Bonds, I don't think so. Jeter is respected but I can think of many situations that those other players would get an intentional pass whereas Jeter would be pitched too (and probably get a frickin' double or something).
Postseason experience is overrated. Who's to say someone won't shine in their first postseason. What about the Marlins a few years ago when the beat Jeter and the Yanks. As far as experience went the Yanks had them whipped but the Marlins came out on top.
With that said, if its just about the postseason Jeter is fantastic. But from the beginning to end of a season, give me Pujols, Manny, or Ortiz anyday.
