From a numbers and production standpoint, clearly A-Rod is the supreme player. And that's with not much else around him. Imgaine how many more RBI chances he'll have with NY?
But Jeter really does provide many intangibles on top of his fine offensive skill and very consistent defensive play.
Nomar is a fun player to watch. He does many exciting things, plays a great short. He may also be the best bad ball hitter in the game. He swings at more **** off the plate than anyone in the game, and yet still hits .320.
And while Jeter was out using his mastercard in clubs with the Boss, Nomar did marry Mia Hamm, that's got to give Nomar some points.It is tough to argue with the fact that Jeter may be as big of a clutch player in the majors. His playoff and september numbers prove that when compared to Nomar. I'd like to compare them to A-rod's sept./playoff numbers but when you play for a team whose ERA is above 6.00 you're not going to have many playoff numbers.
As to whose the better player, we should be able to answer that in late October
