ORIGINAL: Trekgeekscott A few years ago the Yankees acquired a Shortstop of considerable skill at the position, But didn't move Jeter. That Shortstop could play rings around Jeter defensively...but they didn't move Jeter. That shortstop was also reknowned for tearing the cover off the ball...but they didn't move Jeter. Jeter should have moved to 2B. Instead they moved ARoid to 3B. Worked out ok for them...but anyone who thinks Jeter was the better SS at the time is fooling themselves. ARoid, before the Roids, is the SS I would have taken a million times over before Jeter. The Jeter love in here if funny. Guys a HOFer to be sure...but come on. He's not even the best Shortstop of his era. Jeter love? You are not saying I fit that bill. I know you aren't There are a few in here saying they would take Jeter over anyone all time. He's great, but come on, that's preposterous.
