Message: [QUOTE="boog204, post: 5309704, member: 880"] The notion that he was just a singles hitter is a bit inflated. Jeter’s lifetime slugging average is higher than Robin Yount, Darrell Evans (who hit over 400 HRs) Gary Carter and many other guys who were thought of as “sluggers” in their prime. And the prototype for the “power hitting” SS, Ripken, is just a few thousandths higher at 447 to Jeter’s 440. I’m not saying Jeter was a power hitter, but he wasn’t Rose or Carew or someone until the last couple of years. [/QUOTE]
