If Michael Young played in New York he'd be a much bigger star than Derek Jeter.

I don't hate Jeter, as he was DRAFTED by the Yankees. I'd hate him if he was another FA pickup. Since, he was a draftee, played his whole career in pinstripes, won several WS, and now has over 3000 hits. Nothing but respect for him, from me.

One of the most clutch players ever......in any sport.
Most people hate him because he's a Yankee. However, most people would love to be in that guy's shoes. |

Some people probably rate him higher than his statistics would really indicate... but he definitely has that "it" factor. There's something intangible about him that makes him a great player. Clutch isn't supposed to exist... but Jeter is definitely one of those guys, like a Bird, Montana, etc... who just seem to come through more often in big moments than average players. Look at today, four hits, his 3000th hit was a HR. Same way with George Brett... hit 3000th hit was in a four hit game. He'll be remembered as a great player just because he did great things at big moments. I think that's part of the reason we watch sports though.

Okay, make that five hits. That's just amazing... it's just something you can't even really quantify.

162 game averages:
Michael Young: 199 hits, 38 doubles, 17 HR, 88 RBI, 48 BB, .302 AVG Derek Jeter: 206 hits, 33 doubles, 16 HR, 79 RBI, 67 BB, .312 AVG Young has played shortstop, second base and third base for full seasons. If Jeter did that they would be slobbing his knob even more. And before we forget it, Michael Young's best year: 221 hits, 40 doubles, 24 HR, 91 RBI, 58 BB, .331 AVG Derek Jeter's best year: 219 hits, 37 doubles, 24 HR, 102 RBI, 91 BB, .349 AVG Very little difference between the two players other than Young plays better defense and Jeter has played on far better teams.

I don't care for MLB or NYY but he doesn't seem like a bad guy.
