[26 to 6]

Because Jeter is an excellent player and a WINNER. When people try to discredit his abilities and achievements with this ridiculous argument, it pinches a nerve. And despite what you guys like to say and whatever defensive numbers you throw out there, he's not a bad shortstop at all. He does have 2 gold gloves. Granted, the competition wasn't at it's peak and they came after A-Rod switched positions, but he did still beat out 13 other AL shortstops those 2 years...including Nomar/Cabrera, and Renteria. The only thing that Red Sox Nation's attempts to put Jeter down does, other than irritate me, is prove just how good Jeter is. To draw the kind of negative attention he gets speaks volumes. Bad players don't get booed. Well thats not true, but not by opposing fans...
