I am by no means suggesting Jeter is overrated. However I think the main reason Jeter is the all time hit leader for the Yankees is because the organization always gets established veterans to come later in their career, whereas Jeter is one of the few career Yankees.

I do respect the crap out of Jeter though, but hate the Yankees.

I remember watching Jeter play in Columbus for the AAA Clippers. Its amazing how fate happens sometimes. What most people will never know is that Derek Jeter was a 2nd baseman for the Clippers. The Yankees had a stud SS by the name of Ryan Beeney. He hurts his knee, Jeter moves over to short and the rest is history. Crazy to think what might have been?

Yes because Gehrig, Berra, Mantle, and DiMaggio all came to the Yankees as free agents.
