I am not denying Gary Sanchez's popularity and the fans' thirst for a new pinstriped hero ...

It's just way too early to fast track his enshrinement at Cooperstown.

This is Sanchez's career in a nutshell:

• Batted .389 in August 2016
• Batted .225 in September/October 2016

The next Jeter has a whole 1/3rd of a season under his belt.
