(As long as ESPN gives Freddy just as much man-love.)
Basically I stand corrected on everything I’ve ever said about Derek Jeter. In 146 games and 592 at-bats in 2007, Jeter has scored 93 runs and has 187 hits, 33 doubles, 3 triples, 11 HRs, 67 RsBI, 54 BBs, 89 Ks and 13 stolen bases to go with 8 caught stealings. He has a .316 BA, .386 OBP, .438 SLG and an .823 OPS.
Which makes Jeter just as good of a player as our own Freddy Sanchez. In 140 games and 576 at-bats, Freddy has 76 runs, 178 hits, 42 doubles, 3 triples, 11 HRs, 78 RsBI, 31 BBs, 70 Ks, and 0 stolen bases in 1 attempt. He has a .309 BA, .348 OBP, .450 SLG and a .798 OPS.
Jeter gets the edge in World Series rings admittedly and has a slight edge in OPS thanks to those extra walks, but that’s crazy how similar those lines are. Thanks, DK, for the heads up.
