Jeter is a stud. Give me a lineup of 9 Jeters, and you've got the best lineup in the history of bb. Seriously, if Jeter hit about 10 more homers every year, even his biggest haters would admit he's the best player of all time. Not saying he's the best ever, but that just cuz he hits about 15 hrs a year a lot of critics say he's not that great. watch a Yankees game and get back to me....
