I may be wrong but how would he be any different then Robin Yount?
To paraphrase Stepbrothers... "Robin Yount is a SAINT". Right @SchnauzerFace_MLBTS ?
You’re gonna open that can of worms I see. @SchnauzerFace_MLBTS, I fully expect you to rhapsodize about his Tom Sellek mustache and wax poetic at what an under appreciated legend he was. Perhaps even a haiku?

Do we have to wait until 3 eastern, yet again?

The yankees definitely need more players in the game.
Couldn't agree more!

For the people who love WAR, in 98 and 99 Jeter was the not only the best shortstop in baseball but he was arguably the best player in the league.
Anyone who calls Jeter anything less than an all time great simply just has a personal issue with him, because from a numbers perspective it’s all right in front of you. Not to mention all of the intangibles, the rings, and the chicks he took down.

In 1999, Pedro was the best player in the game. He got robbed of the MVP.
In 1998, A-Rod was the best shortstop. Although, he, Jeter or Nomar should have won MVP over Juan Gonzalex. That was nonsense he won another undeserved MVP.
Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in with Jeter.

Jimmy Fallon already leaked it on tonight's show.

They tweeted the link so I’m guessing this was their plan.
I also like the connection, Jeter as the owner of the Marlins when Jazz entered the system and made his debut. Makes Jazz a bit cooler.

To all the haters
: After all, maybe SDS saved a few bucks on Jazz … to finally get Derek -

1998: Jeter was 6th in WAR. ARod was 2nd. Kevin Brown (who REALLY needs to be in The Show) lead the league.

Here's the thing about Derek Jeter that people have to wrap their heads around. The guy had a Hall of Fame career, won championships, and was in the spotlight in New York (did you see the list?), and was never in any type of scandals. People rag on his defense but ignore his highlight plays and I'm talking beyond the catch where he couldn't put on the breaks and ended up flying into the crowd as well as the flip to home to get Giambi out on an errant relay throw... Jeter is the reason the jump throw is an animation and has been an animation in The Show for what feels like forever. Say what you want about him offensively but he came through when he was needed most leading to so many iconic moments even if a fan played a role in one of them but still.
The man is a HUGE NAME! For all the [censored] people gave SDS and Sony for going with Jazz Chisholm Jr who is an electric and exciting current player, you would think having someone like Derek Jeter on the cover does for the game what it has honestly lacked since they did the Ken Griffey Jr cover. Especially now with developing the game for Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo... having a face like Jeter will get The Show 23 in more conversations to go toe to toe with Madden NFL from EA Sports and NBA 2K from 2K Sports... because there have been plenty of years where The Show has been the Best Sports game but just didn't have the reach or popularity of a Madden NFL or NBA 2K... am I expecting much innovation this year from the game? No... because that's what game development is... no game gets made from the ground up every year... they develop a base engine and go from there... I'd expect them to make improvements upon the engine but I wouldn't specifically know what to improve because majority of the issues that people have involve online play and how the game reacts to the online environment... same with Madden NFL and NBA 2K

Not a leak... I feel like this was the plan all along... this is the biggest buzz this game has had since Griffey Jr got the cover.

Robin Yount still owes Ruben Sierra the 1989 AL MVP.
(Yes, I know: WAR retroactively validates Yount's trophy. Don't care. Still bitter.)

People complain about what the attributes of Jeter can be and how they won't be realistic yet we've all grown numb to having an endless array of Future Star cards that rule the DD landscape.
