There is no fucking way that one can call Derek Jeter overrated. Is he the best hitting shortstop in the game right now? He's pretty close to the top -- I don't think that anyone playing today has consistently had his combination of power and average. Is he the best fielding shortstop? No, but I'd put him in the top 5, easily. Is there anyone else who combines fielding with hitting the way he does? One of the contenders is playing third (A-Rod is probably a better hitter, not as good as a fielder) and the other has been hurt a lot lately (Nomah!).
And while he is consistent throughout the regular season, he is clutch in the playoffs. If anyone deserves to yank the title of Mister October from Reggie, it's Jeter. Year after year after year.
Bastard. I hate him.

Not to knock the above-mentioned fellas, but what about Miguel Tejada? Normally I would expect balt to stick up for him, but maybe he's been distracted lately.
