Rollins available?
Quote:

Here's a new one: Baggarly's heard the Phillies will listen to offers for shortstop Jimmy Rollins. Rollins is owed just $23.5MM over the next three seasons.

Re: Rollins available?
Yyyyeah. If there's one player who you'd think would be totally unavailable, it's Jimmy Rollins the world champ. Philly fans would lynch the GM, and with Philly fans that's not necessarily an idle threat.

And then getting his ass kicked by the Rays.....

Re: Rollins available?

1. Hanley Ramirez
2. Jose Reyes
3. Jimmy Rollins
Anyway, I think he's overrated and would cost too much for his value. Pass.

Re: Rollins available?

Re: Rollins available?
Not right now. Jeter might be on Rollins' level but not Hanley or Reyes. He also cannot field.

What makes you think in this point in time that Derek Jeter is better offensively or defensively than Jose Reyes, Hanley Ramirez or Jimmy Rollins?
All 3 of them are better defensive shortstops, as Jeter is one of the worst fielders in baseball per every defensive measuring statistic and every writer with an inch of self-respect.
Offensively, he may have 2,000 hits, but how does that measure his current offensive performance when all 3 shortstops i mention are speed/contact/power hybrids when right now, Jeter is basically just a singles hitter ?
Yes, his 3 rings, indicatives or past glory, Jeter WAS a top 3 SS and one of the best players some time ago, and he may still be clutch, but if you look at statistics or hell, even watch ballgames, how dare you say Jeter is a top-3 SS?
If you made the above statement without at least a grin of sarcasm in your face, then, you, sir :
In every way, shape or form imaginable.

Re: Rollins available?
Derek Jeter has 4 rings, not 3. But now he's no better than an average SS, if even that.

I wouldn't go that far, at least offensively. In his downyear this past year: .300/.363/.408, 11 HR, 11 SB. He's a solid SS.
