So Jeter has been pretty impressive, especially as a rookie. He's got roughly a 90 point lead over the next closest hitter in the NL, and Griffey is leading the AL with a .370 average.

That's amazing for him. I wonder, if he ends up staying in Colorado, if the "rare air" would get him close to Cobb/Ruth? (One hopes you won't be stuck in Colorado that long!)
I love this idea, by the way. I may steal it just to play around with. One Dynasty report is enough for me, given it's a world-view.
