Convincing people that Derek Jeter's defense isn't, and never has been

Karak567 · #1 11-07-2007, 10:39 PM

good.

I honestly don't know what to do. I'm frequently called an idiot and "not a true Yankee fan" for referring to Jeter as one of the worst SS' in baseball for the past 5-6 years. Is this just one of these bang-your-head-against-the-wall arguments like OBP vs BA?

"But look at his fielding percentage!"

Makes me want to puke.

There's nothing you can do really. Idiots are idiots.

I've seen enough Jeter to know he's a great defensive shortstop. I don't care what stats say.

seriously tho, just say that he can't move to his left and make up a stat (that is probably true) to bak it up

more balls over the last couple years have gone in between the shortstop and second base against the yankees than any other team... if he was good at D this wouldn't be possible
