He did have a couple years where he was just really bad. The rest he was "really, really bad."
It's not just all the numbers that show it, it was just about every year.

One good year.
Two not real bad years.
The rest were horrible.
From 2005-2007 was probably the worst 3 year UZR/150 of any SS with 3000+ innings.
His DRS numbers are strikingly awful.

Career -152 DRS!!! That is shocking!
Career UZR.150: -6.2
Inside Edge only captured 2012-2014, and here's what they had:
Jeter made only...
43% of all "even plays (40-60%)
71% of all likely plays (60-90%)
2.7% of unlikely plays (10-40%)
51 SSs with 3000+ innings from 2003-2014:
Jeter ranks ...
44th in UZR/150
51st in UZR/150 at -152 (2nd worst is Michael Young at -82. Jeter is almost twice as bad as the second worst guy!)
Is there any shred of evidence that shows he was not bad?
Yes, but maybe not at the same rate, but my point was that earning $25M in 2 years does not mean you get to invest the whole $25M.
I get how interest compounds, even if $15M not $25M, but there are advantages to taking a fixed annuity.
2 championships in NCAA (SF went 57-1 in his last 2 years there), a Gold Medal (championship) and 11 in 13 NBA years. That's 14 championships & Gold medals in 15 years!
That will never be repeated in any major team sport.
I get that, but my point is that JH has shown he seeks ways to avoid paying taxes as all billionaires do.
At worst, we try to restructure his deal to lessen the tax hit and give Pedey his money spread out. If it doesn't work, fine. We tried.
I doubt we get fines for trying to restructure.
