    Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread

    Hell, let's do this the old-fashioned way :)

    .313, 240 HRs, 1196 RBIs

    vs.

    .304, 453 HRs, 1559 RBIs

    It's a landslide!

    Wait...so if "Jetes" played 159 games this year, instead of 129, his batting average would be well below .300?

    What?????? We're assuming Chipper would make an out every time he's up to bat??? How the fuck did you come to that conclusion?

    Chipper Jones' career stolen base rate is 76 percent,
    Jetes is 78.8 percent

    Let's not pretend like it closes the enormous gap between Chipper Jones and Derek Jeter ability-wise

    91 caught stealings to 46

    7,245 batting outs to 6,350. That difference more than a month's worth of games of nothing but Jeter getting out 27 times in a row.

    I don't understand why the Worldwide Network gives Jeter so much love for being an above average baseball player and playing for the same team his whole career but pretty much ignore Chipper Jones, who has been a great baseball player and played for the same team his whole career.

    Jeter is more than an above average player. He's a HOFer as well. Saying he's just above average makes you look as dumb as Manky, but at least Manky is just fucking with people.
