Arod Or Jeter

Re: Arod Or Jeter

Jeter has 4 rings. Don Mattingly had none. Don Mattingly is and always will be a better Yankee than Jeter in my eyes!

Re: Arod Or Jeter

Jeter and Arod are in the same line up!!!! BUT look at the post season numbers whos the better player then. Its all about the rings Jeter 4, Arod Zero.

Re: Arod Or Jeter

I think this all comes down to supply and demand.

AROD flooded the market with game used bats, at anytime you can find an AROD bat for sale. Jeter's bats are a little more scarce. The volume of AROD backs on the market are a joke.

No doubt AROD is a much better player than Jeter, end of discussion. Jeter has played his entire career in New York and has had a ton of media attention. Jeter had the benfit of being in a lineup of good players. Put Jeter on any other team, he's just a good ballplayer not a great ballplayer.

Re: Arod Or Jeter

AROD=the Dan Marino of MLB. All #s, no rings.
Jeter is far from an "average shortstop" even if he played for another team.
.315 career average and 2500+ hits?

Re: Arod Or Jeter

In all Pro sports winning is everything, having great career numbers is nice but if you dont have a ring you have accomplished nothing. All athletes play for one thing to be the best not in the sense of numbers but championships. your comment about if Jeter played for another team besides the yankees he would be average, maybe, but he doesn't. If your thinking on this is correct Bill Russell would be a just above a avg. NBA center. His carer numbers are avg. a .440 Fg%, a .561 FT% 15.1 Pts per game. But he a winner 11 rings say's it all. He maybe there greatest team player in any sport. Jeter is a team player who help teams win. IMHO

Re: Arod Or Jeter

Speaking as a Yankees fan, rather then a Jeter. Derek is the far more disierable player. They numbers fall with Arod, but history is with Jeter. As a child all Jeter wanted to do is play for the Yankees. He has bin a Yankee from day one, he is the captin, has four rings and has proven to be winner.

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.

Re: Arod Or Jeter

I would take the AROD bat , but that is just me. ARODS numbers will just be unthinkable when he is all done.

Re: Arod Or Jeter

Hey Tony,
You might say that's my non east coast bias showing through on the forum. Arod's a great player and he'll have the best career numbers, that's a given. He's also become the tabloid king of baseball. Jason Varitek just got a divorce also and you barely heard anything about it. Also, if you type arod into the forum search engine, he's mentioned nearly every single day. I guess that's a true guage of how much he's ingrained into this forum.

Until he leads his team to a championship, his career will be defined by that. He's got about 8 to 10 years left and I suspect he'll find a way to get a ring.

With that being said, if someone offered me a free Jeter or Arod bat, I'd take the Jeter since his legacy is already written in stone.

Re: Arod Or Jeter

Can't this forum go at least one day without mentioning Arod? I believe baseball has about 700 current other guys you can collect and not to mention a full encyclopedia of former guys begging to be collected.

That being said, one guy has four rings and the other guy has zip. I'm pretty sure who's bat I'd rather have.

A team wins a World Series, not one player

Funny you say who's bat. Compare Arod and Jeters career numbers
