You people.

Derek Jeter's career is over and the Yankees shouldn't re-sign him when he becomes a free agent in two years:

"I have heard and read plenty of comments in recent weeks criticizing Derek Jeter for his play this year, with some fans even going so far as to say his career is over and the Yankees shouldn’t re-sign him when he becomes a free agent in two years.

...

Since 1996, only one player – Alex Rodriguez – has scored more runs than Jeter. A-Rod has 1,552 runs scored to Jeter’s 1,437, and shen you consider that Rodriguez has hit 336 more homers than Jeter in that time – scoring a run on each of those homers, obviously – it makes Jeter’s run total even more impressive."

Huh?

Hitting fewer homeruns is more impressive?

It's more impressive to rely on a teammate to drive you in?

Teammates like Alex Rodriguez? Who hits lots of homeruns?


"One particularly pessimistic (and possibly delusional) fan even said that Jeter hasn’t had any great moments in his career, and that the Yankees’ title teams were highlighted by memorable plays from the likes of Scott Brosuis [sic], Paul O’Neill, Tino Martinez and Bernie Williams, but not by Jeter.

Um, really?

Let’s look at a handful of Jeter’s top moments and see if any of them can be classified as memorable."

Let's not.

That seems like a waste of time, especially since you just described your debate opponent as delusional.


This is one of the weirdest articles I've read in a while. Defending Derek Jeter in New York is like defending italian ices in the summer.


Jeter is a great player who will go into the HOF. He is also having a subpar year. These two notions are not mutually exclusive.
