Message: [QUOTE="FatElvis, post: 5309345, member: 5816"] So now Jeter is underrated? Really? Good luck coming up with any MLB player in history more overrated on defense (lifetime -8.3 defensive WAR). Yet despite having limited range and a below average arm he somehow managed to win 5 Gold Gloves. No doubt he compiled great career offensive numbers from being a good-to-great hitter over a long healthy career, but the fact that he had a grand total of 20 homers and 61 RBIs in 158 career playoff games is telling. Yes, he had more than his share of highlight moments when the Yankees won it all, but he also had plenty of forgettable ones when they lost. He is the epitome of "great but still overrated." [/QUOTE]
