Jeter would not have been able to play 3B and had he moved to 2B Cano would not be in pinstripes along with 1-2 other good 2B the Yankees have had. The Yankees could have moved him to move had they wanted to or A-Fraud could have said that I am the better SS, play me there or trade me.

I think Jeter is better than ARod, Cal, and Ozzie tbh

In what way? Is he not a fraud like A-Fraud, yes. Is he a better hitter for average then Cal, yes. Can he hit more HR then Ozzie, yes. Can he carry their jockstrap defensively, no. BTW Jeter is among my all time favorite players to not play for CWS or STL.

Here's my two cents. I like Skip Bayless and Derek Jeter is the reason I started playing baseball. Skip never said Jeter was doing steroids. He said it makes you wonder. I've been a Jeter fan a long time. I grew up in south Georgia and went way out of my way to watch the Yankees and I've never once considered Jeter as a cheater of any kind but I can't blame anyone who asks the question of anybody. I watched Jeter two years ago in a few games live when he was batting about .270 and I thought to myself each time that this might be it for him. This was not because of the numbers. I could careless about that. He just looked slow and like he needed a few off days for recovery. I've been to a few games this year and watched him and I'm pleasantly surprised at how good he looks. Do I think he used? No. could I blame someone for thinking about it? No but I would fight them to death for saying it. The climate in baseball is as such right now. People would be suspicious of Chipper if he wasn't being plagued by nagging injuries, but seeing a guy like Chipper(Another player i grew up watching) reminds me that a lot goes into how a player performs on the field. Skip has the right to think what he wants. He gets paid to talk about it. He thought about it. So what? He even says he doesn't think he did. That should be that really.

A Rod has 61.6 WAR ss a SS while Jeter has 69.3 even though Jeter's played twice as many games at short than A Rod has. A Rod would have probably passed Wagner's career WAR total as a SS if he hadn't selfishly decided that team accomplishments were more important than individual glory.
