For all the leadership, intangibles, blah blah blah that Jeter has, they certainly have had a tough time getting to the world series with the highest payroll in the league every year. I think Yankees fans might want to re-sign Paul O'Neil and Scott Brocius. As for Ramirez/Reyes. This really isn't even a debate. Ramirez had 6 more runs, 12 more doubles, 17 more HR, 24 more RBI, 52 points higher BA, 141 points higher SLG%. He is also YOUNGER than Reyes. Reyes had more SB and plays in NYC. I could break this out further, but don't really have the time right now. The shortstop rankings are for ‘08 – not 1996-2007.

First of all Jeter is by far the best SS in the league, putting him at #3 is just plain silly. Even without dragging out the rings, the poise and the leadership consider this. Jeter is by far the best player on a team that is better than the Phils, Rollins is maybe the 2nd or 3rd best player on the Phillies. You're just being a homer on this one, that's all. Ramirez over Reyes in the NL East? You'd have to convince me with some numbers. MVP Holliday was the better MVP candidate stressing the V, Rollins was the better player in 2007. Subtract Holliday and the team struggles to win 72 games, subtract Rollins and Phillies win 78 or more. Without a doubt I'd take Rollins over Holliday, but they meant different things to their teams. Pete, you flat out crazy.
