[frogsrangers]

Looking at his stats he has 3000 hits and a lot of rings but he was never a dominant player or won an MVP, never considered best player in the league. He was consistant but never great

[GUMMO77]

Yes

[thetrinity]

i would say yes for sure, but with baseball who knows

[jjgold]

of course

no brainer

[Chi_archie]

You compare him to other shortstops of his era and other HOF shortstops and it is a no brainer

don't compare him to roid raging outfielders and 1bmen

[crustyme]

do u play with pokemon cards?

[hostile takeover]

He's a Yankee so no doubt

[thetrinity]

everyone with over 3000 hits is in there except for pete rose and shady characters

[sourtwist]

He's a Yankee so no doubt

Wtf does that mean...u sound like a black saying its the whites who are racist

[jjgold]

He is one of most surest 1st ballot hall of famers ever

[gauchojake]

Typical retarded frogs thread

internet must be on at the group home

[Mr KLC]

He wouldn't be if he was an Astro. Just ask Craig Biggio.

[gauchojake]

He wouldn't be if he was an Astro. Just ask Craig Biggio.

if Biggio had won anything, he'd be in the hof.

[teaserpleaser]

of course you really want to be the dickhead that votes no on DJ first hall of fame ballot ....yeah I didn't think so

[imadegen]

is this a serious question?

[Mr KLC]

if Biggio had won anything, he'd be in the hof.

That's my point. Jeter was fortunate to go to the right situation, ala Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Steve Young. He'd be considered for the HOF, but not a first ballot, if he'd gone to another team.

[TheLock]

He wouldn't be if he was an Astro. Just ask Craig Biggio.

Exactly.

[jtoler]

Uhh yes he is.

[jtoler]

He wouldn't be if he was an Astro. Just ask Craig Biggio.

I think Bidge did some roids Im usually good at picking who and I think he did them.

[gauchojake]

First let me state that I'm an Angel apologist. Jeter did what he did on the biggest stage. Nobody ever wondered if he did roids. He never had a sex scandal in a city looking to find a story. His stats are hof worthy even if he never won a World Series, but he won FIVE. Five fukkin World Series. He is without a doubt a first ballot hofer.

Consider this 1st ballot Hall Of Famer with 91.7% of the vote

Career
Batting Avg. .262
Hits - 2460
RBIs - 793
SBs - 580


























































































































when you compare him to ozzie smith he should get 100% first ballot

[stevenash]

There's underlying politica things holding back Biggio

[Kermit]

Absolutely.

[stevenash]

Jeter's the only man in history who ever got 200 hits in the postseason alone. Now obviously, he got several more opportunities to get those hits than, say, Ernie Banks. But let’s put this in better perspective. In 158 postseason games, roughly the equivalent of a full season, Jeter wound up with 200 hits, 20 homers, 18 steals, a .308 batting average, a .374 on-base percentage and an .838 OPS. So how many active players have ever had a regular season like that? Exactly five. And one of them is (guess who?) Derek Jeter. Who of course also had a "season" like that in October. Against the best teams and the best pitchers, in the most pressurized games of his life. Don't tell me that's overrated.

Derek Jeter career WAR 71.7

at least put some lube next time, wow.

Troll OR bringing statistics not gut feelings into the discussion.

[trytrytry]

he was consistent? thats what you came up with?

[thetrinity]

The Torre/George Steinbrenner Yankees died last night. Jeter was the last link to their last run of glory, what a way to go though.

[rm18]

Championships mean a lot so obvious first even if smith had better numbers

[hostile takeover]

Wtf does that mean...u sound like a black saying its the whites who are racist

Holy sh!t dude did you seriously bring race into the conversation?

Yes, I think he's a HOF, but not first ballot if he plays on any team other than the Yanks. If he's a Cub or on a few teams like most players not Yankees it would take him a couple tries.

Geez man settle down.

[sweethook]

yes , but with out pete rose in it , there is no true hall .......fuk the hall
