Most well rounded player in baseball. Plays up to his high salary, will sacrafice his body to make a play. (diving into the stands face first) Hits for contact and power. Modest as hell and a pleasure to watch.
Dude, I saw Derek Jeter walking down the street and Baltimore, he asked me if I was going to the game.
Did you get his autograph?
Naw, Neither of us had a pen, but he was damn nice.

The starting shortstop and captain of the New York Yankees, arguably the best clutch hitter in baseball. As well as going back and forth for the American League lead in batting average in 2006, he is also the leading candidate for the league's Most Valuable Player award. He is considered by most to be a future hall of famer, and is one of the most revered and highly regarded Yankees of all-time.
Derek Jeter came up big in the clutch yet again, with a 2 out, 9th inning double, propelling the Yankees to their sixth straight win.

Extremely overrated shortstop for the New York Yankees - although he's a very good hitter (for a shortstop), he's pretty bad defensively and is waaay overpaid, even by baseball's exorbidant standards. He's baseball's equivalent of Tom Brady.
Wow! He had a .500 slugging average and drove in 100 RBIs ONCE! He almost hit 25 homers a couple of times, and he's never struck out 150 times in a season! What a fantastic player! Scott Brosius also won all of those rings! Scott Brosius is the second-greatest player ever!

1.) Shortstop for the New York Yankees. He is definitley not overrated. Though statistically he is not the greatest SS in baseball, anyone who has seen him play knows that in all other respects he is. Perfect example...July 1, 2004 against the Sox. He is a fanastic player, and is pretty easy on the eyes as well.
Jeter is better than Nomar (who's not bad, but still not as good as DJ) and pretty much every other SS out there.
