Default Re: Jeter Worst SS According To Penn Study

The fact that Jeter has won GGs and was included with Ozzie Smith on the ballot for the Rawlings All-time Defensive team is the reason this article called out Jeter in the introduction of this new statistical measure. To Gom, it is universally accepted that Manny blows in LF and Ortiz is slow. It is not universally accepted by the majority of Yankee fans and the mainstream baseball media that Jeter isn't good in the field, and he is touted (see the GGs et al mentioned above) as an excellent fielder. Hence the article. To 26, please explain how researchers at UPenn equates to Sox fans trying to besmirch Jeter? I don't see it. Face it, you are the reason the article was written.
