Talk:David Wright v. Derek Jeter/@comment-101784-20060421113352

I think you are wrong. If we were talking about Paul O&quot;Neill I would agree with you. look, the Yankees have maintained the highest payroll in the league and have failed to win championships even with Jeter, even as they have added Giambi, Sheffield, Arod and others. the reason for that is because they lost Paul O&quot;Neill and Tino Martinez. Derek Jeter is a single, attractive player who played SS at a time when it was a weak hitting, defense first position. He, Arod, Nomar and Tejada all came up and reinvented the position. At the same time, the Yankees built a tremendous foundation around him, especially the pitching staff. While Jeter gets the credit, it simply isn&quot;t deserved.
