He was unstoppable in that year’s Division Series against the Tigers (.500/.529/.938), but for the second year in a streak that would run to three straight, the Yankees failed to get out of the first round. Meanwhile, Jay seemed to struggle to find footage for Rolen’s write up. While he claimed to be “100 percent healed” as of March, he suffered a new crack in the bone while rehabbing, didn’t make his season debut until July 11, and played just 17 games due to subsequent strains of his right quad and calf. B-Ref actually has JAWS leaderboards, which makes his life a lot easier. Or hit a routine fly ball to right field that would of been caught in any normal size ballpark? Follow him on Twitter @jay_jaffe. “To think of the Hall of Fame never crossed my mind.’’. Also the reason Jim Rice and Kirby Puckett are not HOFers I suppose. After he hit .508 with four homers as a senior, Baseball America named him its top high school player in the country. Nonetheless, the Carews, Gwynns, Suzukis, and Jeters, who deal in quantity of hits perhaps more than quality, connect with even the most casual and entry-level fans, including the ones who have yet to discover FanGraphs, Baseball Prospectus, and so on (yes, there’s a larger sermon in here that I’ve been hinting at, but that’s for another day). It was through those summers that Derek became a Yankees fan. Hall of Fame officials are anticipating record crowds, exceeding the 82,000 in 2007 that saw Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. feted. During A-Rod’s three years in Texas, he had been average at shortstop according to Total Zone, and eight runs above average via DRS in 2003, the year the latter metric was introduced, but to pave the way for the deal, he agreed to move to the hot corner. Wallace (Montreal), Jeffrey Hammonds (Baltimore), and Chad Mottola (Cincinnati) came off the board as well. Using Off (Offensive Runs) is flawed when doing career comparisons, as it’s aggregate. I think I’ve been respectful toward Rolen (outside of the blah comment). Yes, those are some that I was referencing. Yes, he had his teammates’ help to reach October perennially, but once there, he put together the equivalent of a prime Jeter season, and against top competition to boot. For example: Yes, he made the catch on Trot Nixon in fair territory and ended up in the stands. While he scuffled during the 2001 ALCS and World Series by going a combined 6-for-44, he helped the Yankees get by the A’s in the Division Series with his heads-up flip play — redirecting an errant heave from right fielder Shane Spencer to catcher Jorge Posada — to nab Jeremy Giambi at the plate and preserve a 1-0 lead in Game 3. How about the Subway Series leadoff HR in Game 4? Back to the regular season. Rolen: 122, .368 Thank goodness. He underwent surgery to implant a metal plate and screws, and spent much of the winter riding a motorized scooter around his mansion. He returned for one final season, and while the highlights included a leadoff double in that year’s All-Star Game and a walk-off single in his final home game at Yankee Stadium on September 25, he hit an abysmal .256/.304/.313 — largely from his typical second spot in the batting order, as Girardi was apparently unwilling to provide a necessary reality check to the aging superstar. Though Aaron Boone’s homer gave the Yankees the AL pennant, they lost the World Series to the Marlins. “Man, that first summer in ’92 in Tampa,’’ Jeter said, “I was just trying to make it to ’93. In Game 4 of the World Series, after Tino Martinez had hit a game-tying two-run homer in the ninth off Diamondbacks closer Byung-Hyun Kim, Jeter struck him again via a walk-off solo shot in the 10th, shortly after the October 31 game passed midnight, making him “Mr. Or when he hit a walk off hit in his last game, which was a meaningless because he refused to bat anywhere but 2nd all year while slugging .313? He epitomized class and grace on and off the field. Anyway, Jeter was no slouch in the on-base department, with four seasons with at least a .400 mark, and 12 of at least .370 — making him an exceptional enough table-setter to rank 11th all-time in runs scored. Agreed that longevity shouldn’t be overvalued, but when you’re this similar from a rate standpoint in nearly 50% more PAs, then longevity certainly matters. Not only is Jeter one of 32 players to reach 3,000 hits, he’s sixth all-time, with a hit total that trails only Pete Rose, Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron, Stan Musial, and Tris Speaker. Check some “ highlights.”, There’s tons of Rolen highlights. I don’t think there’s that much of a difference between him and Rolen. So I don’t necessarily agree – I think longevity matters, but not nearly enough to make OFF runs a good metric to use. Their failure to do so in 2007 led to Torre’s departure, and the next year, their first under Joe Girardi, the Yankees’ run of 13 consecutive trips to the postseason came to an end. © 2020 USA TODAY, a division of Gannett Satellite Information Network, LLC. as distributed by STATS. Augmented by the emergence of fellow “Core Four” members Rivera and Andy Pettitte, the Yankees went 92-70, claiming their first full-season AL East title since 1980, and Jeter sparkled in the postseason (.361/.409/.459). Jeter’s 1999 season, his age-25 campaign, wasn’t just the best of his career to that point, it was the best he would ever have. I just think it’s harder for voters to leave guys off nowadays because you have to reveal your ballot. It’s the only organization I wanted to play for. It was Boone’s subsequent torn left ACL, suffered while playing basketball in January 2004, that precipitated the acquisition of Rodriguez from the Rangers.
