    And we all know that Jeter would have 4 rings if he played his career in KC, don't we?

    KC was a perennial contender during most of Brett's career there, so comparing the Royals of todays to those teams is disingenious at best.

    Who brought up Brett?

    I simply said that if Jeter had played his career in KC, with the teams the way they have been during his career, he wouldn't have won a single ring.
  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,696 ✭✭✭✭✭
    That's not a fair analogy at all. You could apply that to anyone superstar who wins a WS ring. KC has ZERO interest in winning and their owner is a disgrace to the fans and a greedy SOB.

    Absolutely its fair when people try to justify jeter's 'superstar' status by the number of rings he has. Take away his world series rings and you have a player who has yet to crack the top 100 in hits, never led the league in BA, and who averages 18 home runs a season. Career .314 batting average puts him 75th all time.

    Would he be a 'superstar' if he didnt play in NY and have won 4 world series? I highly doubt it.

    Dude, you started an "discussion" in which I simply replied that BRETT didn't have as many rings. Your a twit.

    Ax,

    Jeter's got 7-8 seasons left in him and will probably wind up with 3,000 hits and 2,000 runs scored before he's done. He is a HOFer with or without the rings but the fact is that he is a 4-time champion so you've got to give him his due. It's not like he wasn't a key player on those teams either. Next to Mariano, he's the most significant player on the teams of that era.

    Yes he would be a star, not as big of one. No, but not many guys can handle the spotlight. The list is long of so called stars who came into such spotlight and floundered. Jete's been doing it since his ROY-winning first season. Add the 4 WS rings, a WS MVP, throw in a couple gold gloves...Well you gotta star.


    Kirby Puckett only averaged 19 homers per season and a lifetime BA of .318. Yes he had more gold gloves(But Ax, didn't you say they are just a popularity contest? Yes you did). So, I think if Kirby can be a star in all places Minny. Well, Jete rightfully has earned the same title in NY.

    The statement was made earlier in the week, that if Jeter retired today, would he be a hall of famer? I don't see how he would merit induction TODAY.
  • Wrong...quote me where I said "If jeter retired today". Now open your mouth and insert your foot because I didn't say that. Now look at the averages between Kirby Puckett and Jeter.

    How the hell else am I supposed to read that:

    'does Jeter make the hall of fame'?

    Do you mistake me for someone who can see the future? How am I supposed to know what's going to happen to Jeter's career in the future? Since I CAN'T know, I have to assume you meant jeter's numbers UP TO THIS POINT.

    And when you start basing your argument for induction on others in the hall, you look sad and desperate.
  • So.....
    Puckett averaged 19 homers and a .318 lifetime BA
    Jeter averages 18 homers and a .317 lifetime BA.

    Explain it. Played during basically the same era(steriod inflated era that is), and basically have put up the same numbers.

    Josh " Gopher Ball " Beckett had another great outing yesterday. Him and Ortiz should have a contest for most home runs...Ortiz HR's hit and Beckett HR's given up. Its 37 for Ortiz and 31 for Beckett as it stands now. Josh shouldnt give up hope, Im sure he can catch him !

    That will be the only race involving the Sox come October.

He's a young guy getting into the prime of his career, Moose is getting up there in age and Johnson....well we don't even need to talk age with that fossil. Still with such "horrible" season the yankees pitching staff has the young "stud" Beckett has a 4.76 era and leads the Majors in home runs given up. lol, stud bullchit.

    21 is a far cry from 31. Even more so when you are comparing a 43 yr old who is at the end of the line to a guy they are clinging their hopes of the future on.

    Beckett will be fine. He is one of many young guns the Sox are counting on to anchor their future rotation. The best part is that he is young and he has already been around awhile. He is not a 26 year old rookie. Beckett has stood on the mound at Yankee Stadium as the winning pitcher in the last game of the World Series. When was the last time a Yankee starter accomplished that feat?

    Wow - pretty unbelievable. Not much I can say to that.

    I thought the Andruw Jones deal was dead (the Braves wanted Crisp, Lester, and Hansen - the Sox rightfully said no) but if they can work it out, great. He's one of the best outfielders in the game.

    Sorry to disappoint you murcerfan, no Red Sox players were injured last night. I'm sure you'll keep hope alive, though.
