people forget just how bad nomar was in the field. he had a great arm, but remember when he couldn't catch a ball to his right?

nomar was a MUCH better fielder than jeter circa 2000. as for offense:
EqA
1997
jeter .269
nomar .283
1998
jeter .295
nomar .299
1999
jeter .325
nomar .322
2000
jeter .301
nomar .327
i will use the UZR ratings from 2000-20003 to show you that a) nomar was a good fielder b) jeter was an awful one
2000-20003
nomar +4
jeter -28
i am not arguing that jeter has not been a better player over his career, and obviously jeter is worth much more right now. however, from 97-2000 nomar was clearly the better player.
