    baseball reference also has a "similarity score" section and looks at comparable players. For Cpt Jetes it's Craig Biggio. Where was Biggio's farewell tour and video tribute and lip service from MLB?

    Jeter is so damn overrated.

    So the real reason for all this crying is because Jeter is getting a farewell tour?

    Must be Vic, and lets not forget that according to the mental-midget 31 whose knowledge of the game couldn't fill up a thimble, that all the tributes that Jeter is getting from the players past & present are all because the guy is over-rated.

    Can't stand Yankees, but very difficult to make a case against Jeter. Not only his numbers, but shined in the biggest moments when it counted the most. Soooo many clutch hits. Don't believe he deserves his God like status from NY reporters. For Jetes', it's baseball and babes and not necessarily in that order.Will probably retreat to his 5 story palace in Florida with his harum.

    Yeah that would be my guess.


    I responded to this earlier Vic but the mental midget 31 who by some miracle is also the mod here didn't appreciate my response & deleted it.

    Should probably request this thread be locked by the admins. It's gotten pointless now. Facts have been shown time and again about how overrated he is but the fanboys don't listen. You can only lead a horse to the water.....

    The thread was dumb the second it started. That being said asking for a thread to be locked because everyone doesn't agree with you is pretty humorous. Not to mention calling somebody overrated is an opinion not a fact. Everyone doesn't share your opinion nor do they have to.

    I agree Vic. Not only does he want to close down a thread because everyone doesn't agree with him but he's also been deleting posts that don't agree with him. Hell, this should be the 3rd one of mine he deletes. The really scary thing is having a mental midget like him leading this board. The title of this thread should have been "Time for me to start another stupid thread".

    Okay kid.............................delete away.

    No, the thread should get locked because there is nothing else constructive to be said. Disturbed/myself/others have already expressed, with stats, why he's overrated and overhyped, and you/mrmel and the rest of the fanboys have already expressed why "he's not". Not much else is left.

    I know you'll probably delete this post also M.M. But it shouldn't have been started because it sounds like it came from a kid who's still mad at mom & dad for taking his computer privileges away. And please don't try holding hands with disturbed on this topic, at least he showed some class acknowledging that Jeter is indeed a great player, your posts were just filled with hate for the guy.

    Okay, go ahead & delete this before anyone else see it.

    The only defensive one is yourself when somebody doesn't agree with you. You obviously have over the top hate for Jeter for whatever reason.

    I'm not the one claiming you "don't know anything about baseball" b/c you don't agree with me. It's you and the fanboys who have their panties in a bunch over someone not agreeing with the idolization of Capt. Jetes.

    Sabermetrics are hardly embraced by the baseball community as a whole but they do make for a lame baseball movie and are hardly are the final say on a players ability. How many rings has that guru of Sabermetrics Billy Beane won? Today's scouts still use the 5 tool formula not Sabermetrics.

    Youth baseball/softball is alive and well in my town as well and like Al I also coach and have seen it's popularity first hand throughout the Metro area. Jeter's the guy you can tell your son/daughter to emulate, a humble, class act with prolific numbers that no shortstop who played by the rules can compare to. As far as the farewell tour goes that's simply other team's owners showing their appreciation to the Captain for the yearly sellouts in otherwise empty stadiums when the Yankees come to town. Seems like there are 2 haters versus the rest of the posters who appreciate Jeter's ability to some degree.

    You like to talk down to people, insult and call fan boys so I think it's acceptable I say you know nothing about baseball.

    Panzer: I agree saberstats have gone too far with a ridiculous amount of metrics, but simple stats like OPS have been around forever and are basically universally understood by everyone. It is a fact, not an opinion, that Jeter has a .728 OPS in the past 5yrs, which is below average for the position on top of being a defensive hack.

    I also don't think it's fair to discount Beane or James (who does a lot of the stat stuff) for not having any rings. This isn't tennis or golf but a team sport. If Jeter had been drafted by the Pirates, he'd have 0 rings as well.
