my god you guys are a broken [censored] record.
I realize it is a pain to see if you are not a fan of the Cardinals and it's cool to insult Cardinal fans but let's be honest, if Goldy played for any other team, then that teams fans would be complaining just as much. Nobody likes to see worthy players on their favorite team snubbed.
It will pass once it has been vented.
Kind of like Pujols, notice in his final year he is not getting NEAR the amount of red carpets in away games that Jeter or Ortiz got their final years, and he is a superior hitter to both, with far superior numbers.
Reason: Market
I didn't even think about this until an analyst brought it up on MLB Net, they would have buildings and statues if Pujols played in NY his career
In what world does Pujols have "far superior" numbers to Jeter?
Power numbers, sure. But to say he's "far superior" to Jeter is a ludicrous statement.
In the real world. I have watched and played baseball since the 70's. Cabrera and Pujols are two of the best hitters I have ever seen.
Jeter would have been nothing had he not played in NY. One of the most over-rated players ever. Wasn't even the best SS on his own team. A-Rod was a far superior defensive player.
Not in his own division. Nomar was far better. If you don't know this, your baseball knowledge is severely lacking.Pretty sure his defense has nothing to do with his ability as a hitter but ok. Everyone chiming in here with their BS opinion about Pujols being "far superior" and no one has provided a single statistic to support that statement. And im talking actual batting statistics....not the stat nerd "what-if" numbers. ACTUAL statistics.
Pujols had arguably the best 10 year stretch of any baseball player in the history of the sport, not sure what else you need. Are you not old enough to have remembered those years? Jeter isn't even in the same conversation as Pujols stat wise.

Ok? But what makes him "far superior"? When someone says "far superior" i think of a comparison between someone like Pujols and someone like Chili Davis. Other-worldly vs average. And what good is a 10 year stretch when the rest of the years are good but nothing amazing? I didnt realize that the argument everyone was attempting to make was simply a 10 year sample size and not a full careers worth of work.
Yea we can just ignore the fact that Jeter has more hits in 200 less games, a better CAREER batting average and OBP and just focus solely on the power numbers in a 10 year period and say Pujols was "far superior" to that career bench player Derek Jeter.

I'm a Red Sox fan and hate the Yankees with a passion, but this is my take:
Both Pujols and Jeter have one CLEAR advantage over the other:
Stat-heads will favor Pujols because their individual stats aren't close.
Traditional fans and those that value winning, will clearly favor Jeter. There's no way Pujols impacted his team overall more positively than Jeter.
They're both All-time greats but for different reasons.
-
Oh wait....i found something other than power numbers where Pujols was "far superior" to Jeter. He grounded into the most double plays of all time.

It's not a hard concept, really. If guys have cards that already compete with POTM rating max, they won't get it.

So you set the parameters and what stats you are willing to accept. Confirmation bias, it's not worth anyone's time 🤪.
I'll humor for the sake of fun.
Albert Pujols is a 3 time MVP and a career bWAR of 99.4 to Jeter's 71.3. The production isn't even close despite the few stats you cherry picked, and they are miniscule. Jeter's best seasons offensively are ho hum compared to Albert.
Yea so Albert got zapped by injuries, but if you break down their primes, Albert was beating Jeter's brains out in every stat except triples and steals. More hits, more doubles, more HRs, higher OBP, higher Slug.
Heck Pujols has never struck out more than 93 times in a season. Jeter struck out over 100 times in 9 different seasons. For 10 straight season Albert had more BBs than strikeouts.
It was a bloodbath, flawless victory.

Albert Pujols is a 3 time MVP and a career bWAR of 99.4 to Jeter's 71.3. The production isn't even close despite the few stats you cherry picked, and they are miniscule. Jeter's best seasons offensively are ho hum compared to Albert.
Yea so Albert got zapped by injuries, but if you break down their primes, Albert was beating Jeter's brains out in every stat except triples and steals. More hits, more doubles, more HRs, higher OBP, higher Slug.
Heck Pujols has never struck out more than 93 times in a season. Jeter struck out over 100 times in 9 different seasons. For 10 straight season Albert had more BBs than strikeouts.
It was a bloodbath, flawless victory.
I cherry picked stats but you're gonna play the "what if" game and focus on 10 seasons. lol ok.
Again, i never said Jeter was better or "far superior" but y'all really sitting here acting like Jeter wasnt a great hitter..
It's totally ok to let the "i hate the Yankees" BS go for a minute and admit you would have taken him in your lineup 7 days a week.

I never thought I'd see the day that someone was mad about not getting another Paul Goldschmidt diamond card. He is quite literally the Tom Glavine of hitters when it comes to how many different variations of cards he has received over the years and continues to receive. Although, I will say that I see no point to that 91 OVR card that just dropped awhile back. His Live Series is much better with the "active" Perks and Inside Edge.

my god you guys are a broken [censored] record.
I realize it is a pain to see if you are not a fan of the Cardinals and it's cool to insult Cardinal fans but let's be honest, if Goldy played for any other team, then that teams fans would be complaining just as much. Nobody likes to see worthy players on their favorite team snubbed.
It will pass once it has been vented.
Kind of like Pujols, notice in his final year he is not getting NEAR the amount of red carpets in away games that Jeter or Ortiz got their final years, and he is a superior hitter to both, with far superior numbers.
Reason: Market
I didn't even think about this until an analyst brought it up on MLB Net, they would have buildings and statues if Pujols played in NY his career
In what world does Pujols have "far superior" numbers to Jeter?
Power numbers, sure. But to say he's "far superior" to Jeter is a ludicrous statement.
In the real world. I have watched and played baseball since the 70's. Cabrera and Pujols are two of the best hitters I have ever seen.
Jeter would have been nothing had he not played in NY. One of the most over-rated players ever. Wasn't even the best SS on his own team. A-Rod was a far superior defensive player.
Not in his own division. Nomar was far better. If you don't know this, your baseball knowledge is severely lacking.Pretty sure his defense has nothing to do with his ability as a hitter but ok. Everyone chiming in here with their BS opinion about Pujols being "far superior" and no one has provided a single statistic to support that statement. And im talking actual batting statistics....not the stat nerd "what-if" numbers. ACTUAL statistics.
Where are the stats you have to support your statement? It's not other people's job to prove you wrong when you didn't provide a single shred of evidence lol.
Tell me you didnt read the previous posts without telling me you didnt read the previous posts. But i'll humor and post actual statistics.
ABs :
Jeter - 11,195
Pujols - 11,204Runs :
Jeter - 1923
Pujols - 1883Hits :
Jeter - 3465
Pujols - 3320Doubles :
Jeter - 544
Pujols - 674Triples :
Jeter - 66
Pujols - 16Batting Average :
Jeter - .310
Pujols -.296OBP :
Jeter - .377
Pujols - .375Again, we all know Pujols has the power numbers so im not gonna bother there....but im still waiting for someone to show me the part where he is a "far superior" hitter in something other than power stats and GDP. Also, in the real world when someone makes a statement its usually up to them to support their statement. Ive asked multiple times to see examples but all they seem to do is say dumb [censored] like "durrr are u not olds enough to 'member this?"
And no idgaf about the BS "this stat adjusted for weather, ballpark size, pitchers throwing mechanics and crowd size" make believe nerd stats

You definitely said Albert wasn't that much better of a hitter than Jeter. In your bubble, that may be partially true. However you can't ignore specific numbers to support your claim. It's a pretty big deal for the majority of their careers Albert was outpacing Jeter in all those offensive categories you hold near and dear.
You just keep flipping this around. First it was "Albert wasn't that much better than Jeter, here's no evidence to support my opinion". Then naturally you lash out at everyone with opposing opinions for not producing evidence, despite you doing the same thing. Now you've pidgeoned holed yourself into only looking at stats you want to look at.

The 17 Cedric Mullins cards last year set a bad precedent.

I honestly couldn't care less. I'm a jays fan while it was nice to see Roy added to the game this year i couldn't really care less what cards they get.
The only card I actually look forward to every year is a usable Griffey but other than that it doesn't affect me one way or another if players for the Jays get cards or upgrades.
To each their own.

There are 3 people in the history of baseball with these numbers: 3,000+ hits, 650+ HRs, 2,000+ RBIs. 3!!!!!
Hank Aaron
Willie Mays
Albert PujolsThat's in addition to 3 MVPs, a Batting Title, 2 World Championships, 2 gold gloves, over 674 doubles, 1883 runs scored etc etc.
Jeter was amazing, and I agree we don't need to throw around the far superior moniker between 2 1st ballot HOFers.
Pujols had the most dominant decade in baseball history. Only hitter ever to have a .300+ avg, 30 + HRs, 100 RBIs for 10 straight years. And he missed the 11th by 1 RBI.
Yes, he then declined with Anaheim as almost everyone does after playing 140+ games 11 years in a row. But he was still productive. He still had 40+ HR and 100+ RBI seasons
Top 10 hitter in baseball history....without question.

Of course, anyone would have taken Jeter in their line-up. That's not the argument, quit moving the goal posts. But he is not in Albert's league man.
