    ]...or not. His K rate has stayed very consistent throughout his career. Nixon may be through, but WMP is not the answer. He's a hack in RF and will cost us a bunch of runs, and when I said that he couldn't hit the good pitchers, I did n't limit that to Santana quality pitchers. He can't hit the good pitchers on any team's staff. He hits his homer off garbage guys. If you want to have a winning year your guys need to hit the other teams top of the rotation.

    Ex-Yankee fan joining after the regular season when the Yanks are in the post season, but not the Sox....hmmmm? I've got my eye on you.

    Many pitchers were juicing. The guy that is giving up the names is a pitcher. For pitchers it allows them to strengthen their legs and it shortens the recovery time after pitching. The pitchers weren't pumping iron to increase their biceps.

    Damn that it is over. Damn a month of baseball and no Red Sox.

    Let's hope it works out as well as the closer thing. Whose available to get as a closer?

    Starting Papelbon is an unknown, an experiment. Using him as a closer is a sure thing. Take the sure thing and go get a couple of starters.

    Again' date=' the era's were very different. In his era, he was the best offensive and defensive SS most years. Talk to people that watched baseball in the late 50's and the 60's. Don't be a punk ass and throw around numbers that are not relevant to his era. I didn't say that Nomar was a HOFer. I was pointing out that throughout jeter's career he has been oversahdowed offensively from year to year. Nomar did overshadow him for a number of years. Now tejada overshadows him. I will not even mention ARod. HOFer should dominate his position. Jeter has not. How many SS's from this era should go into the Hall? Three? Four? I don't think so. He should go if he gets 3,000 hits. If not, he doesn't belong, but the Jeter groupies in the press will vote for him and his intangibles. Maybe "intangibles" will be put on the plaque. That would be embaraasing.

    It was sad to watch Nixon take that last trip off the field. He's a gamer, a true professional.

    Aparicio was the Ozzie Smith of the 50's and 60's. He also stole more than 500 bases. Again there is no comparison when it comes to Aparicio's glovework which is why he was inducted. He also had about 2,700 hits.

    ...or maybe not.:dunno:

    He may have been the best that you have seen, but he certainly was not without peer. Many Yankee fans though Donnie Baseball was just as good. Isaw them both. There wasn't a big difference defensively.

    I laugh at how Yankee fans conclude that Jeter's rings equate to greatness. When the books close on the Prima Don SS, it will show that he never finished first in any major individual category, and that the only individual honors that he will have won are merely popularity contests. He'll never have won a batting title, a Home Run title or RBI title. I wonder how many HOFers have done that? Well, since the Hall is also a popularity contest, they'll probably change the rules for him.

    Cone 5 Rings > Jeter 4 Rings

    Sojo 5 rings> Jeter 4 rings

    But he won't be Mo. No one is.
  23. a700hitter
    Yes, they were called the World Champion Yankees, not the World Champion Jeters. He has the same rings as Luis Sojo, who has 5 rings. I guess that makes him better than Jeter. There are four Yankees left from those teams. The heart and soul of those teams have been gone for some time now (O'Neil, Knoblauch, Cone (5 rings), Wells, Pettitte, Clemens, Brosius) with only Mo, Jeter and Posada remaining as starters from those teams. Bernie was a major contributor to those teams, but he is only a part-time player. It's funny that the Yankees continue to pump up their their payroll, but have not been able to win after that group departed. Maybe $230 million is the magic #. BTW: When Mo finally goes, the Yanks will start missing the playoffs.

    No, it matters that they weren't even competitive for the last 6 weeks of the season. The third place finish was well-deserved and more reflective of the type of team that the were.
