You talking about the Chipper Jones who got moved off his natural position mid-career because he couldn't hack it defensively?

As opposed to Captain Intangibles, who refused to move from his natural position out of pure selfishness.

Did anyone even ask him to move? I really don't think anyone did, as that would have been ridiculous.

Someone should find out if the Phillies asked Mike Schmidt to move off third base when they signed Pete Rose...

The same Pete Rose, who I believe began his career at second base? And besides, Rose doesn't count. Remember, he played way back when stats didn't mean anything because old guys from the era couldn't hold Jetes' jock. (That's your department, right Mankster?)

You're twisting my words. What precedent is there for a player of Jeter's caliber moving off his position to accommodate a free agent?

Schmidt could play in this era. He has admitted that if steroids were readily available in the 1970s, he would have used. I'm sure Rose would have injected also.

You're sure about a lot of things that you have no clue about. Like John Lennon's personality.
Click to expand...

Oh so know you're telling us you knew John Lennon personally? And I'm the one being ridiculous?
Click to expand...

I was talking about his personalITY, Einstein. I've read probably 30-40 books about the Beatles and Lennon. So yeah, I've got a pretty good take on what he was like. He was a miserable prick most of his life. It wasn't until the last five years after his son Sean was born that he became a decent person. He stepped away from music and the whole celebrity thing and become a stay-at-home dad. So yeah, I do know enough about him to speak with some authority. You, on the other hand, are telling us you know Pete Rose well enough to say he'd have taken steroids without a doubt? Yeah, sure you do. Read any of the Rose books? His own book or the Dowd report book? I have.

Thanks for the history lesson on Lennon. He's your idol, fine...but I've never cared to read up on the life of a singer who had about a half dozen good songs. In terms of talent I'd put him on the same level as maybe George Michael.
Click to expand...

I don't have any idols. I'm an adult. That said, you don't know much about Lennon but you know enough to put him on the same level as a guy who sucked major balls? So tell me, what were those half dozen good songs? Oh, I remember, YOU DON'T CARE ENOUGH TO KNOW! Hell, I bet you boys Jetes would even tell you what a moron you are for making that statement. A-Rod for President! (Jetes can be his valet.)
Click to expand...

You've told us you have read over 40 books on Lennon. It's obviously an obsession.

Ok, just to make you happy: Lennon songs that I like:

Whatever Gets You Thru The Night
Just Like Starting Over
Don't Let Me Down
I Don't Want to Spoil the Party
Walrus

That's all I can think of...

Ah, Mankster. Screwing up the facts again. I said "probably 30-40" books on The Beatles and Lennon. Not "over" 40. And if you've never heard "Imagine" you need to get out of mom's basement more, son. Not my favorite Lennon song but probably his most famous.

If he had wanted to, Jeter could have:

Cured cancer
Flown to Mars without a spaceship
Safely eliminated all of the world's nuclear weapons
Single-handedly won the last 20 World Series.

and...and...and......HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY HERO!
Click to expand...

Fixed that for ya.

Pretty much all of those things are as likely as Derek Jeter hitting 40 home runs in a season. He never came close. If he could have done it, he would have. He couldn't. Deal with it.

Let's see. Why would Jeter be jealous.

The three MVP awards would be a place to start. So is the fact that Rodriguez was a MUCH better shortstop than Jeter. It was never even close.

Oh, but Manky wanted to tell us about Jeter's on-base percentage. Funny thing. Even though Jeter has the higher career average (.313 to .303), Rodriguez has the higher on-base percentage (.386-.383). Oh, and Jeter the great leadoff man? He has fewer runs scored than Rodriguez, too. Rodriguez has 1,823 to Jeter's 1,768.

Oh, and those steals? Even though Jeter spent much of his career batting first or second while Rodriguez was in the heart of the order, Captain Intangibles only has 34 more steals (339-305). Doesn't quite make up for the advantage of nearly 400 home runs that Rodriguez has over your hero, does it?

Five minutes on baseballreference.com, Manky. If you're going to keep this foolishness up, please at least make an effort next time, ok? Even I'm getting bored with this.

Scream steroids all you want, but everybody knows Alex Rodriguez has been a much better player than your hero Jeter could have ever dreamed of being.
Click to expand...

To truly answer the question of who was better we'd have to know what ARod's career would look like without chemical enhancement. And who knows.
Click to expand...

That's all you've got? Man, you're slipping.

No, we don't need to know that. Those hits still fell in. Those home runs still went out. Those plays in the field that Jeter couldn't even come close to making still got made.

Just face it. Your hero made things as difficult as he possibly could for Rodriguez out of jealousy. He knew he was the inferior player. Just like everybdoy else knows it. Except you, of course.

What is it with you and A-Rod? And how do you know his time in New York has been 'difficult' because of Jetes? Are you his shrink?

Prediction: Tonight's game goes extra innings, Verlander no hits the Yankees for 12 innings and Captain Jetes goes 0-for-6 before leaving the Stadium in disgrace after booting a ball to give the Tigers a 1-0 victory.

Gehrig · Sep 30, 2011

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread

I believe Derek Jeter finishes his career with more hits than the amount of strikeouts Nolan Ryan had for his entire career.

Alright, couldn't say that with straight face. Move on, Manky.

Re: Running Derek Jeter Thread

Paging Mankster! Manky to the white courtesy phone! What the heck, Mank? Captain MVP goes 0-for-5, strands FIVE runners, whiffs twice, makes an error and is batting .200 in the postseason. Isn't he supposed to be the greatest player in the history of ... well, in history? Meanwhile, Miguel Cabrera is batting .429 in the ALDS after going 3-for-4 with three RBI and a homer. MVP Jetes my butt!
