I’m sick of this Jeter Hero talk.
The guy doesn’t deserve the MVP simply because of the way he continues to ostracize Rodriguez.
If a guy truely is the most valuable to his team, he doesn’t pull crap like that.
Maybe the MVP isn’t Ortiz, but it sure as hell ain’t Jeter, either.

While I’m slamming Mr Yankee, let me point readers to this breakdown of the top AL hitters and where Hanry Aaron Award winner Derek Jeter fits in the list. (Oddly Kevin Millar figures prominantly in this comparison as well…)

I don’t even know WTF SecA and IsoP are, but I know Jeter sure as hell didn’t deserve this award. There is nothing “intangible” about the Aaron Award. It is hitting and stats. Period. It is the one award where a guy like Ortiz should be able to say, “So what if I’m a DH. Hand it over.”

I guess Jeter should just clear a space on his mantle for his MVP now. At this rate, leave room for another undeserved Gold Glove and, what the hell, give him the Cy Young and a freaking Grammy as well.

The endless articles celebrating Jeter’s desire to play in the World Series are ridiculous. Yes, we know Jeter likes the Series; that’s about as far from unique as is possible. And yes, we know he, along with the rest of the Yankees, he thinks of the Series as more of a right and less of a privilege; that’s the unique part. If you want to point something out, focus on that.

Nicely put Seth.

I think i t’s pretty clear that Jeter left ARod hung out to dry and continues to do so. His behavior over the last season or two regarding ARod should pretty much unravel the nice impression he made on you in ‘04.
