is also a player who has been said to have been payed for what he's done when extensions have been signed rather than just what they expect him to do. That's something that happens to an extent throughout the game, but I'm pretty sure I've read that regarding Jeter more than anyone else. He's also the all time hits leader for the Yankees and has a chance to break Rose's all time MLB record. He's a no doubt hall of famer with 3304 H, 524 2b, 95 3b, 255 HR, 1868 R, 1254 rbi, 1039 BB, 348 SB and career .313/.382/.448 line in 2585 games with countless "moments" that would give a much lesser player a decent chance to get the votes. Jeter is a very rare example anyway, but doing all that from SS when the SABR community would argue moving him off for a Brendan Ryan type pts him squarely in that bat first category. not MOTO, but still valuing offense over defense.
