Parsing Wallace.

"The two of them couldn't be more different, as ballplayers and as individuals ..."

Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez couldn't be more different as ballplayers.

Hmmm.

Both are right-handed hitting shortstops with speed, power, high on-base percentage, too many strikeouts, five tools, excellent baserunning, multiple gold gloves, multiple all star appearances, and Hall of Fame careers in the making.

You know who couldn't be more different as ballplayers?

Glenallen Hill and Randy Choate.

Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez are practically identical as ballplayers. ARod hits more homeruns and Jeter has experienced more postseason success. That's about the only difference.
