I have to admit I get a kick out of seeing how easy is to make you respond with inflammatory posts even when I'm giving you the truth.
The bottom line is that except for maybe one year in the past 5 or 6 Jeter has absolutely been a liablity in the field. Like I said he is very good at balls hit right at him, but the balls to his right or left, his range is poor and that's putting it kindly. It's been 5 years, maybe more since he was mastering his hop in the hole at SS and making the throw to 1B
Why are you bringing up the Red Sox in the conversation? That has nothing to do with the comments I made - and for the record I'm not delusional against giving Yankees players praise - I gave defensive props to 4 yankees a few posts up the river. And most Sox fans have said that Youk is not very good at 3B before he signed with NY. At 1B he won his gold gloves, he was great at 1B for us but that was 3 or 4 years ago before he started breaking down physically. Once Adrian Gonzalez was signed and Youk was pushed to 3B again we saw first hand that his range was just not there.
What's funny is that most Yankees fans I know actually agree with me. When a ball is hit up the middle or in the hole between SS and 3B they cringe. But please carry on with your vagina and responses, they bring so much to the discussion.
