If you want to pick a Yankee, you missed the obvious one.

Jeter is so overrated he's underrated at this point. 15+ years of above average counts for something. He was never the best at his position, but he was far from the worst.

If we're talking overrated Yankees I'd argue multiple guys over Jeter.

Guy somehow slayed literally all the pussy and never got caught up in the back pages. That's honestly more impressive than his baseball career.

I'm quite sure I didn't coin this phrase, but I was on this train around the time that it was. I was all aboard the "Jeter is so overrated" train for a long time, but when everybody else jumped on board, I realized it had gotten ridiculous. He was really, really fricking good.

Without question. He's in the Hall of Fame of One for what he was able to pull off in that regard. Much respect.
