[QUOTE="Randy Savage, post: 198789, member: 545614"] I think Derek Jeter is the most overrated player in the game... Raul Mondesi had that title before he went to the Yanks, when the baseball world finally realised a .260-20-85 and 20 steals line wasn't anything special... I HATED Alfonso Soriano last year (because my best friend had him on his fantasy team, and wouldn't shut up about him, and my 2b sucked...) But I took Soriano with the 4th overall pick this year, the guy has some **** talent. Anyway, back to Jeter. His defensive skills are average at best. He lacks the power that A-Rod, Tejada, and Nomar have, and his average is right around theres, .300-.315. He can steal 25 bases, which is good, and score a lot of runs (because his offense is stacked)...but why is this guy considered one of the best players in the game? He's barely in my top 5 shortstops, why do people consider him in the top 5 in the league? I don't want to hear "leadership skills," they haven't won a championship in 2 years.... And they won so many in the 90's because of their stacked lineup, great pitching staff, phenominal closer, and great trading deadline acquisitions. [/QUOTE]
