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

I always thought Barry Larkin was one of the most overrated players in baseball during his career - he was a decent enough player but he could never stay healthy. That some people push him for the Hall of Fame is beyond ridiculous to me.

I don't care for Jeter because I absolutely loathe the Yankees, but have to admit he's a great player. He's a bit overrated, to be sure, but that goes with playing in New York where great players are compared with the greatest and the bums become bums of epic proportions (case in point is A-Rod this season). Jeter's consistency and reliability have been his greatest contributions to the team and if he played for Oakland or the White Sox I'm sure he would be one of my favorites.
