      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?

      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.

          And for the “intangibles,” they won precisely 1 World Series after he became The Captain in ‘03. They did blow a 3-0 to the Red Sox, though.

          I guess they're all voting for him because of the famous pro-yankees bias among sports writers then lol

          No, they're voting for him because sportswriters are married to the narratives they spin even more than the political press. He showed up five minutes before the Yankees started winning World Series, and his calm eyes were the reason.

          I'm sorry, that maybe true, but this is the greatest example of "Don't give up on a play," in all of sports history. Ya know what Jeter had that the Arod's never did? Those intangibles. The Captain.https://youtu.be/ApoJk9X7Vto

          You're exaggerating both the viewpoint and number of people who hold it. I think most agree Jeter was never a top defender, but to conclude he was "historically bad" requires you believe defensive metrics, which rely on subjective inputs, are reliable going back over a century.

          Jeter was the first Yankee to have an on-field monument while still playing.
