oh no, you misunderstand. I am totally not on boad the Jeter is amazing train. Im solely saying he is the most popular and loved ballplayer in years. -- nm - Jovian Sep 23, 18:58
Yeah, OPS+ is 115 for Jeter vs 141 for Jones. Jones was far more damaging a hitter. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 18:57 9
- (But just to be clear, I think Derek Jeter is and should be a slam dunk first ballot Hall of Famer.) -- nm - David Sep 23, 18:58 8

    - I hope Deadspin buys another ballot. -- nm - Tim Sep 23, 19:02
  - He's Ripken a decade later. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 19:00
  - Yes, I don't think anyone disagrees with that. - Reagen Sep 23, 19:00 4
    - He's the greatest Yankee in 50 years, so I get it but I also agree it's gone too far. - David Sep 23, 19:01 3
      - It doesn't help that we're just one year from Mariano Rivera getting blown at every MLB ball park. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 19:05 2
        
        Except Citi Field, where he blew. - Tim Sep 23, 19:05 1
