Arod..
ALWAYS Looking for Chris Sabo cards!
Just a note to the person who compared Jeter to Garciaparra. Get a clue.....perfect example was the game where Jeter dove into the stands against the Red Sox. The game was so intense and meant so much, and like every other day Jeter did the little things, including cheering on his teammates and doing everything a team captain should. Where was Garciaparra during that intense game between two heated rivals ? He was hiding and sulking in the bottom of the dugout, something you will NEVER see Jeter do, and something people who dont get to see Jeter every day will just never understand.

Jeter is in the hearts of every Yankee fan. Arod's not there yet. Yes, he has better stats and will put up incredible numbers when it is all said and done, but Jeter is revered as a Yankee great already, like Mattingly, Mantle and Dimaggio. Jeter is the face of the Yankees right now.
Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12
Looking for Al Hrabosky and any OPC Dave Campbells (the ESPN guy)
I would go with AROD too here. Unlike Bonds, though, the press adores the guy. It is the Yankee haters and multimillion dollar contract haters that have bad stuff to say about him. That being said, he needs to get at least ONE title, or the media will start saying how he 'can't win the big one'

<< <i>Probably Arod, although the great sleeper as far as 90's RC's go is the 1995 Bowman's Best Andruw Jones Refractor. Look at his numbers and his age-- he has a good a chance of hitting 755 as anyone out there. >>
Not a chance. He'd have to average 30 HR a year until he's 43. You REALLY think that's going to happen? Or 41 HR a year until he's 39?

He's two years younger than A-Rod and 120 some odd home runs behind him. So yes, I guess A-Rod does have a better shot. But Andruw Jones is still in the running. He's also entering his 30's, which are typically good years for power hitters.

I know I know , I am a Yankee fan. BUT, am I the only one here who laughed my a$$ off reading the above comment? I mean holy crap! Barring career threatening injury Derek Jeter will with out a doubt eclipse 3,000 hits in his career. And when that happens I will be more then happy to dig up this thread and ask how it was possible that the most "over-rated" player in the history of the game finished with more than 3,000 base hits and oodles and oodles of runs scored.
Ummm, doyou realize that Jeter is a eye blink away from 2,000 hits ALREADY at the age of 31? Has almost 1,200 runs scored? 300 + doubles? AND a career .309 batting average?

I think all the talk about Jeter being overrated actually makes him underrated. There is no denying that his being a Yankee also gives him a boost as well, but that is the same boost that the Yankees from the '50s get as well.
A-Rod will put up better numbers, but I don't see his cards moving that far ahead of Jeter. Derek would help his cause by winning an MVP one of these years. He is due to have a monster offensive season one of these years.

Two plays will forever define Jeter. First, the headlong dive into the stands for the foul ball. A-Rod would never have made that play for fear of scarring his pretty face. Endorsements, you know. The second was in the playoffs against the A's when he somehow found himself backing up a throw from the outfield and when it sailed over the first baseman's head, there was Jeter to shovel the ball to Posada and tag out Jeremy Giambi (SLIDE, JEREMY, SLIDE!).
For A's fans Kirk Gibson will always be Public Enemy #1 but Jeter is a close #2.
