      Steven Goldman @GoStevenGoldman
      Is it possible we've already forgotten Jeter's actual career? He was a very good, beloved player, but he was also a defensively limited SS who had to be sat down by Brian Cashman and TOLD he sucked. And he refused for A-Rod, then the better glove. Some team player. https://twitter.com/NewsdaySports/status/1197964877110947841 …

      If HOF was measured by numbers alone, they wouldn't let baseball writers vote on it. On the intangible level you absolutely 100% can't argue that he's not inner-circle great.

      Intangible, meaning what? Refusing to give up his position for A-Rod? Standing near Mariano while he closed a lot of games?

          Being a consummate ambassador for baseball. Becoming, “Mr. November” months after 9/11 when the whole country needed baseball. Those are intangibles.

          His ability to be drafted by a team capable of buying a lot of titles in the early 90s is unsurpassed

          There is no way to argue Derek Jeter isn't a Hall of Famer that's even semi-credible. He has the stats for it, by far. He's top 20 All Time in times on base, top 5 in singles, 20th all time in Offensive WAR, 10 seasons in the top 10 for BA, 11th all time for runs scored. . .

          I'm not arguing that. I'm just noting that he's not one of the inner-circle guys. He's not even close to being one of the 2 best SS ever.

          lol you're looking at this through Met-colored glasses. We wouldn't be having a discussion on whether it'll be a unanimous vote or not if this wasn't the case.

          Nah, this is more or less a unanimous view of analysts, even the Yankee fans. Jeter was one of the best hitters to play the position, long career, part of team with five rings. But he was also a historically bad fielder at his position.
