Jeter is still on the way!

If Jeter released right now and the card was realistic he would be hands down the worst TA4 card. Except for maybe David Price.

He would be better than Molitor, Price and Saberhagen.

Just wait, they talked about HOF directly before opening the box and after revealing the legend Ramone called him on the phone and said something along the lines of how that wasn’t a real reveal and that coach pranked him.
Which basically means there’s another legend on the way, and that legend will be leading off, for the New York Yankees, number two, Derek.. Jeter, number two.I hope your get your Jeter so we can shift to complaints about his defense.
I would purposely hesitate on all fielding plays and mess up the throwing meter for him to demonstrate his fielding skills and make a YouTube montage video.
This is too funny...

He would be about the same as Molitor. Maybe a hair more power but the contact would be the same. Price yes, Saberhagen no

Jeter, number two.Jeter was a great captain with lifetime stats. He made one of the most intuitive plays I have ever seen against the A's in the playoffs. With that said, his card to me would be Barry Larkin. I would rather see Negro Leagues players get their respect over a Jeter type. If I had to pick a cover athlete for next year it would be a cool cover with all the Negro League All Star's together.
That’s an absurd take
Please explain why? Who would you compare Jeter to stat wise that played the same position with spectacular plays mixed with some below average fielding seasons?
Not the same position, but other than WS rings Jeter and Paul Molitor are about identical stat wise
At least someone took notice of my observation yesterday. It really is interesting how similar Molitor and Jeter stack up stat wise. BA, OBP, SLG, RBI, BB, TB, H, HR, WAR all quite similar, with OPS being the exact same. Both right handed hitters with decent speed, decent pop, and below par defensive stats. I would say that Jeter is Molitor with the glaring exceptions of rings, and fame/national perception.

Release 99 Dontrell Willis immediately!

@TattooedDude84
I'll second that! He wants to be in thr game too! -
Jeter will be in the game next year no way would they drop him now
-
Jeter is Alan Trammel with bad defense.
-
Who cares if the card is viable??? There are some legends that I would love in the game that probably wouldn’t make great cards.

I am a die hard Yankee fan and I 100% agree with this. In this GAME he would have high contact and probably around 75 to 80 power realistically and MAYBE 75 speed? I know for a fact I would never use him.
-
I think the disappointment would be like Clemente in that the players game doesn’t translate well to a video game.

You know, as a Red Sox fan, I dig this KDclemson character.
Why? He exemplifies every negative Yankee fan stereotype!
And i have friends IRL that are Yankee fans, so yeah, I know it is possible for normal people to like the Yankees.
But that's boring to talk about. The negative stereotype Yankee fans are WAY more fun to interact with!

False.
Great captains change positions to help the team instead of acting like a prima donna and making the new guy move.
Can you think of many instances where a hall of fame player changed position to accommodate a new signing? Not the guy coming up the ranks that was drafted by the team, but one that the team signed to take his spot? I do not have love for the Yankees as an Orioles fan (or a fan of baseball at all), but Jeter was the face of those teams for many years. I think Jeter has as much right to insist playing short as the Yankees had to push for a guy who played the same position.
It is also important to note that Alex Rodriguez wanted to go to Boston and not New York. He agreed to restructure his massive contract and even take less, but MLB blocked the deal (it likely upset the MLBPA too as they didn't want a prime player taking less money).
Ripken moved to 3B while he was still able to handle SS.

A-Rod is still better than him at Short even after sacrificing half his career at third for him.
