Arod Or Jeter

Re: Arod Or Jeter

And if mickey mantle played his whole career with boston redsox he would not be regarded as the legend in pinstripes and all the aura that surrounds him. But that is not the way History is. History is that Jeter , came up with alot of huge clutch hits that sparked rallys during the dynasty that became the yankees from 96-00. History is that he has 4 rings. History will show he will end up as ALL TIME hits leader for the yankees. And with all the history talk, no yankee has ever attained 3,000 hits. If Joe Montana did not have Jerry Rice. If Bob Cousy did not have Bill Russell. If Bellichick did not have Brady. IF is a word you should use in sports history. Derek Jeter has hit in the clutch playing in the biggest spotlight of the sports world. And he did it in the post season in NY, where sports IS the only thing that matters, AROD will never perform in the clutch the way Jeter has. With all the baseball players that have played years worth of games in the post season, Derek Jeter has the most hits. That is a fact. I hate it when "IF's" are brought up with Jeter conversations. I am a Yankees hater. But i am a Jeter fan. Why? because i know greatness when i see it. Derek Jeter and AROD are both HOF'ers. But AROD and Jeter are miles and miles away from each other when it comes to hitting in clutch situations. And hitting in clutch situations makes you a great player.

Well said. AROD may have more talent, but someone like Jeter is the guy everyone would want on their TEAM.

I have to agree. This argument is true even when it comes to "greatest of all time" type of guys. Michael Jordan was extremely gifted and had the physical tools to be among the best. He is widely considered the greatest ever, however, because he never missed that last shot. He was biggest in big games.

There are plenty of other players (in my opinion) who had/have as much talent as Michael...none of them were/are the same caliber of winner though. And Yes...he did have Scotty.

Re: Arod Or Jeter

Having rings doesn't make you a proven or great player. There are many players with 3 and 4 rings (basketball, baseball, etc.) who were just on good teams. Some of them won't even get into the hall of fame with those rings.

I like Jeter. I just believe if he never played for the Yankees, he would be considered just an average shortstop, based on his career numbers.

Just my opinion.

Yea, thats because they only asked the 96 and 99 braves the 98 Padres and the 2000 Mets

Re: Arod Or Jeter

There's a good reason why Jeters peers voted him the most overrated player. Not just my opinion.

Re: Arod Or Jeter

A coach once said , "'You play to win the game". That's the goal in sports. The ultimate goal is to be part of a championship team. To "laugh" at postseason stats/success is shortsighted. I wonder if you would think differently if your boy had won something.
