The Yankees won because they had a great team. Jeter was a great hitter. But we can't deny that he was bottom third of qualified SS in defensive runs saved his entire career.
Why is this an argument?
Well, if you weren't following along, it's not really an argument.
The Yanks were the most successful team in baseball for about Jeter's first 10 years in MLB. The Yanks had the opportunity to acquire ARod. It was understood, by all parties, that ARod would play 3B. These idiots are saying "Jeter should have moved." I ask "Why? They were the best team in baseball with Jeter at SS. Why would you move your franchise SS at 30 years old?"
The idiots haven't really given a good reason. They're just being idiots.
See, I told you he'd keep giving more lame answers and continue embarrassing himself. When he has nothing better to say, he calls people names and hopes it distracts from how bad he's getting destroyed in the discussion (so he does it very frequently). He's the one and only person in the World who thinks good teams shouldn't make moves to get better. The Yankees didn't win the WS every year that Jeter played short, so obviously they had room to get better those years. Nobody (despite what Mike will undoubtedly respond) knows how many more or less WS they would have won with Jeter and A.Rod swapping positions, but since A.Rod was a better defender, it's easy for everyone except the Jeter slurper to understand why they should have switched. He sure gets his panties in a bunch about Jeter, don't he?
