True. Sixth all-time in hits means he is slightly above average.

Before you attack that, let's put it in some context and not just throw it out as an accumulation. Jeter was good enough to hit at the major league level for 20 years. He averaged a little over 170 hits per season. He hit 260 homers as a SS. His numbers are impressive. There are no two ways around it.

Even if Jeter was a Royal, then he was still a Hall of Famer. His numbers are worthy, regardless of his overrated defense.

Defense itself is overrated.

Agreed. But he would be viewed as Biggio. Close to first ballot but may have to wait to second year to get it

ETA: Change my mind, he would be viewed as better then Biggio and most likely be first ballot. But it wouldnt be anything like he is now

Agree that if Jeter was a Royal that he would be a hall of famer still. The difference though is that as a Yankee he will be first ballot probably.

Proof of this is the fact that Biggio is still not in the Hall after two tries.

Jeter was really clutch over his 20 years and there was no one better than him in the playoffs. that is what is going to make him a first ballot guy. if he was playing for a small market team like the royals, he wouldn't have near as many playoff appearances.
