It is laughable that many Yankee fans think Derek Jeter is a better player than Alex Rodriguez.

[/ QUOTE ]
if jeter was up in the playoffs last year with the runner on third and 1 out instead of arod, the yankees go to the world series.

No, it isn't. It's human nature. How many WS have they won with Jeter? How many with Gayrod? Of course they are going to favor him.

There is a difference between "favoring" a player and acknowledging that he is better than another. One of my favorite Dodgers of all time is Kik Gibson, but you will never hear me argue that he is one of the best.

I would like to add that it is possible to choke(via internal stress) but clutch does not exist. Therefor, I would take Jeter as well simply because FagRod is prone to choke.

best defensive play in a playoff game EVER with that cut off play down the 1st base line against oakland a few years ago. Anyone who doesn't think Jeter is a clutch player is either a Yankee hater or an idiot. case closed

Was that the one where he was so far out of position you were just wondering, "How the hell did he get there?" If that's the one I remember, it was pretty freaking amazing. I was in awe (and I really dislike Jeter and the Yankees).

[/ QUOTE ]
it wasnt really that amazing, he was backing up the play and had no other responsibilities. he should have been in that area.
sometimes youll see catchers run down the line on groundouts to backup a bad throw. doesnt make them heros if theres a bad throw, its what they should be doing.

Jeter in last years ALCS v Boston: .200/.333/.233
AROD in last years ALCS v Boston: .258/.378/.516

Jeter was terrible. Arod was good.

I am fine with that. I am a Yankees fan and I hate PayRod, the biotch.
