At least we won't have to hear about it in 2015. If I hear one idiot say he is better than Cal then.....................I'll probably come on here and complain.

Just tell the idiots that say something like that that Jeter wasn't even the best shortstop on his own team for quite a few years.

Wonderful. Definitely not looking forward to watching any nationally televised O's/Yankee's game this year. I imagine the Jeter love-fest will be sickening.
It has already started on MLB Network

Am I the only one who thinks Jeter has always been kind of selfish?

Of course he is. His range at SS sucks and he has to know it, yet he wouldn't move for the better SS in ARod and still thinks he can man the position at 70, or however old he is now.

He's had a good career, and a very lucky one. I respect him just a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit, so I'll tip my cap to him but that's it. I can't wait until he's gone to stop hearing about him.

IMHO the farewell tour for Mariano was deserved as I believe he and Bernie Williams were the only class acts from that team that started in the 90's.

Man i totally forgot about Bernie Williams, I loved that guy, he's a damn good musician too.

    • I think you'd see a much stronger correlation to how they were rated in the minors vs. draft position. Westburg has been treated similarly to Cowser and Kjerstad. Adley, Gunnar and Holliday were all consensus #1 prospects and have been given pretty much immediate every day player status.
    • Game ball or the equivalent of hockey star(s) of the game for me: Suarez — all of those zero’s on the road, gets my game ball. Kimbrel is my runner-up. I know striking out Trout with the bases loaded is the job, but it ain’t easy. Cowser - Honorable Mention. I’m still not 100 percent in on the Milkman nickname, but he sure is fun to watch.
    • Yeah - I was thinking Beavers could fill that spot, but it seems he is more suited for a corner outfield position, if he makes the bigs at all.
    • We have all this year and next if it’s needed.   No rush.  No hurry. 
    • Kjesrtad was Elias's #1 pick in 2020 draft and #2 overall, so Elias saw something great in him.  Can you all imagine how powerful the O's will be if Holliday starts to hit and Kjerstadt hits like he did in the minors, Kjesrtad did good when he was called up in 2023.  They will be the Baltimore Bombers!
    • I'm not crushing Santander either, but he's a career .765 OPS guy. It was .797 last year. His only year over .800 was the Covid year. He plays average defense. Not a butcher, but not exactly rangy out there. Long story short, I think you can get similar power with more OBP from Kjerstad and Cowser with similar defense for Kjerstad and better for Cowser. So yes, I'd say they'll be better than Santander.
    • Can we get Buster Olney, talking heads, and various posters to look in the mirror for their ridiculing Elias' "hoarding" prospects? The strategy has always been about raising the competitive floor/ceiling while managing risk like a portfolio manager.  Seeking alpha while managing beta is the goal.  Sig's purpose is the quantify. And yet we still have people tossing out trade proposals and extensions and unhealthy FA pursuits because they know better and moving prospects to other positions.  It's fun to speculate but it's foolish to present it as an absolute.
