I can live with Jeter's fielding. If he gets to the ball, he makes the play. His range isn't good, but he's not fucking up routine grounders. He's also very good with pop-ups and relays, two important aspects for a shortstop.

There is no way he deserved the Gold Glove awards. I just think the talk of how bad he is defensively is exaggerated. I think the fact that he's a smart ballplayer is undervalued when people are talking about his defense. Knowing where to throw, where to position yourself, when to make calls are all very important aspects of playing the position, and he is good at that.

(Of course, A-Rod was better. I pushed for Jeter in centerfield when we got Rodriguez.)
