i can't tell if you are serious or not...but i am a pretty rabid yankee fan, and derek jeter is a terrible defensive SS. the yankee defense's zone rating Robinson Cano: .875 ZR (2nd out of 11 qualified AL 2B) Derek Jeter: .763 ZR (Last out of 13 AL SS) Alex Rodriguez: .805 ZR (1st out of 10 AL 3B) Bobby Abreu: .848 ZR (7th out of 12 AL RF) Melky Cabrera: .911 ZR (this would be 3rd best in the AL if he had enough games) Hideki Matsui: .832 ZR (6th out of 8 AL LF) fielding metrics are a very inexact science, but ZR is one of the better ones. jete can't get to anything up the middle. yeah the ranging to his right jump throw is pretty and all, and the flip vs oakland is an all timer, but on a day to day basis, he is a below avg defensive SS. also, A-rod is a really good 3b with a canon for an arm, and brosius wasn't too bad either. neither of them needed to jump to throw the ball, nor did either of them ever run face first into the bleachers after catching a pop up in fair territory, so that probably detracts from their candidacies, right Skip? LOL! He has to jump to throw the ball because of the pre-a-rod (who hasn't been that much better) vacancy at 3rd that he has always had to cover by himself. And clearly you never really saw that dive into the seats because the ball was a good 6 or 7 feet behind the first row...hardly close to fair territory. It's alright, I'll give all you yankee-haters your place in the shade, what with your decades of perpetual mediocrity, you deserve it! And btw, Skip Bayless is the man. |

Rangeless defender??? HA! Apparently you have been watching way too much basketball, because clearly you haven't ever seen any truly good baseball. That's right...because truly good baseball produces a record under .500. By the way, you laugh a lot on the Internets machine. I was struck that this was the first post in a long time in which you didn't laugh, until I saw the "HA!," which, although clearly sarcastic, is still a laugh. Do you laugh this much in real life? |

green had a #22 jersey at the press conference about his contract. I think superan deserves some credit for this valiant -- yet futile -- attempt to get this thread back on track. Good on ya'! Now.....Knicks suck, Yankees suck, Jets suck!  |

They have a friggin HORSE at #2 over the best shortstop of all time, Derek Jeter?? And John Elway over THE MICK at #7 Puhh-lease! I know my Yankee fanship may be slightly biased, but gimmie a break. Jeter the best? Surely you jest! |
