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

Jeter is a great player. He has had some great postseasons, but also had some brutal series that directly contributed to the Yanks losing. Specifically the Sox in '05 and and the D'Backs in '01.

His defense is the only part of his game that is vastly over rated. He does fine but his first step is always late. He makes the "catch" because of speed and does have a nice arm.

I still think Jeter should be in center and A-Rod at short, but that ship has sailed and hopefully after a another disappointing post season the Yanks will send A-Rod packing. Maybe for Ramirez of all people.
