jeter is a better fielder and anyone who knows anything about baseball will tell you that. dont you remeber him diving into the stands for a foul ball and busting open his head or that behind the back backhanded flip to posada to tag out giambi at home plate in the playoffs a couple of years back. you never see A Rod doing those things. Now A Rod is a way better power hitter and rbi guy but not a better fielder.

The YANKS, even though I am a Red Sox fan.  \n\nAdd it up.  You have more valuable Yankee baseball cards and memorobilia than Red Sox stuff.    The difference is almost enough to make me switch.  (But it is fun to sell baseball cards to Yankee Fans as a Red Sox fan, but it would be impossible to sell anything to a Red Sox fan if I were a Yankee Fan).

Ok I will admit I am a Yankees fan but I will try and give you my unbiased opinion. Derek Jeter is slightly overrated but he is still a great player. For one his defense is very overrated he is an average at best defender who tends to make a few exceptional plays a year that stick in peoples minds. His hitting though, for a shortstop is exceptional. He is one of the best offensive shortstops to every play baseball. Not the best but top 10. So far in his first 11 seasons he has hit .314 with 1936 hits, 1159 runs, 169 home runs, 763 RBI's and 215 steals. If he was able to keep up his current pace for 6 more years (very reasonable he will only be 37 then) he will have 3172 hits, 1897 runs, 277 home runs, 506 doubles, 1249 RBI and 353 steals. \n\nThat would place him 15th on the all time hits list 12 hits behind Cal Ripken. That would be the third most hits ever by a shortstop. And 6 more years is just a conservative estimate. He would be only the fourth person to retire with 3000 hits 500 doubles 200 home runs and 300 steals with Paul Molitor, Willie Mays and Rickey Henderson.\n\nShortstop has never really been a power hitters position so his 20 home runs a year is pretty good. The last thing that builds Jeter's legacy is his winning. He came up at the start of the Yankees run, he has played in the playoffs every year of his career (minus his initial short callup) and in the playoffs he has hit .307 with a .379 OBP and a .463 SLG\n\nSo I guess I agree with some of your points, he is a sub-par fielder and if he had played on the Pirates and not made all those playoffs he wouldnt be as well known. But he would still be a hall of famer. His numbers are great so far and if he can stay healthy he should end up with some very impressive numbers. Another reason a lot of people love him is the intangibles. He is the Yankees captain, he hustles on every single play, he has kept his nose clean and not gotten into any trouble. He is basically the all american pretty boy and everyone loves that. Whether this is worth 20 million a year I dont know. I dont think he is worth that much on the field but his marketing value probably makes up the difference. I hope that answered your question.

The University of Arizona's outfielders (Champion, Lowe, Acton), LSU's pitcher Turner, and Texas' catcher Willis are hot. \n\nMy favorite would be Caitlin Lowe because she has it all: great slapper with the ability to swing away for power, mind blowing speed, reads the defense very well, very strong defensively and gives it her all ever single game.  Her attempt to make the catch during the Tennessee game in the WCWS was absolutely amazing.  Definitely my favorite.

Although Kent is tearing it up right now, Jeter will get you more hits and HRs this year. I also think with that Yankee lineup, Jeter will get more RBI and score more runs than Kent. If you have Kent, trade while he's still hot. Hitting in Dodger Stadium will lower his number over the long run.

Right Now- Jeter. His average and number of hits are superior.\nCareer- A-rod. His stats over his whole career are vastly superior to Jeters.

Yeah! Dodgers. F()ck the Yankees and Giants, not the Angels they're locals so I root for them.

you have to think about this logically, player by player. A-rod will have protection from his entire lineup, so he will obviously get pitches to hit, he'll have at least 35 HR with 140 RBI. Josh beckett is much better than zambrano. Becket is way more intense and will get a ton of run support. Jimmy rollins will hit 350 while jeter will probably hit 310.  All in All i think the trade will benefit your opponent, i would keep becket and A-rod. I would NOT do this trade.

Pujols is better because he continues his dominance at the plate in the postseason, unlike A-Rod who seems to choke every time he gets there. Just look at last year's playoffs. The reason why the Yanks didn't advance was because A-Rod was not putting up constant numbers.

Greetings from the Yahoo Brain in New York City!  \nHope you're watching the live Answers webcast at http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html !\n\n\nI think A-Rod will break it, as long as he doesn't have to get up in too many pressure situations for the rest of his career.  I love the guy, but I can't get over how ridiculously un-clutch he is.  He's still going to get his numbers, particularly mammoth home run blasts when the Yankees are either up or down big, but don't look for too much from him when the game is on the line.\n\nWhat I also think is that if he keeps up his own torrid pace, Albert Pujols will break Rodriguez's record a few years later.   As long as he stays healthy and keeps hitting them, there's almost no reason to think he won't!\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.

NO THANK GOD\nPedro is one of the biggest as Sholes in sports. The Yankees will NEVER have anything to do with that piece of trash of a pitcher. (He's not even that good)

I am not a big fan of either of the two players, but I think that they are both some of the best players ever in baseball. No matter what they did or used in the past, they still have the ability to do what they did. Anyone can take steriods, few people can hit 700+ homeruns and Rose is the hit leader.
