Um...I think I'd know if there was an elephant in the room. My apartment is only 600 square feet, so it would get pretty cramped in here.
lol thank you for this bit of gold in the morning
maybe a baby elephant could take up your whole kitchen and bedroom

We all know the biggest issue this game faces is the fact all 2nd basemen and shortstops have Derek Jeter power and accuracy behind their arms when moving the opposite direction from and throwing to 1st base lol
Thousands upon thousands of hits stolen on what should be a rare play. And speaking of Jeter, when we gonna get an All-Star or Prime or MVP Jeter card??
Derek Jeter never won an MVP because he was never good enough to. So you won't ever see an MVP card of him.
He did finish top 3 three times in his career.
Funny way of saying he never won. The MVP card can't exist because he was never MVP.
Again I was just making a statement in response to saying he was never good enough. Not about him getting a card in a Video game. He did finish 2nd one of those years. To say he was never good enough is false statement.
It's not false, he wasn't good enough to win MVP, he didn't win it... Even at his best with all of NY media and hype around him the best he could do is first loser.
Fact: he wasn't good enough to win. If he was, he would have.
That is an Ignorant statement. Plenty of HOF and great players never won the MVP but that does not mean they were not good enough, it means other players were a little bit better That season and how the Voters saw it. The person who wins does is not always the one who should have won.
Jeter played on a team that was immensely favored in any sort of media or voting type accomplishment. His entire career he was over hyped and held on a pedestal. His team had an owner spending ungodly amount on payroll far more than any team to be competitive. He literally had every single factor wholely and completely to his favor... And yet still could never put together a year deserving of MVP because he wasn't good enough. Slapping singles with a 130 ISO isn't going to get it done kiddo.
Jeter was flat out not good enough to be an MVP. He was not that caliber player. He is the Craig Biggio in pinstripes.
He was never MVP, and never deserved to be MVP... Not good enough at his best to be the most valuable player. Even with everything in his favor.
You will never get that card
I am not talking about that stupid card that is not what this is about. It is about facts, that fact is he is a HOF player, you can not deny what he did in the post season and what he did over his career, You sound like a jealous fan who hates on a team that does what it needs to do to win, Sports is about winning championship and getting the best players to do that. the Yankees did not win anything from 79 to 95. It is his fault that he played for a Owner who wanted to win? I wonder why the media loved him and hated Bonds. He did put together a year that was good enough. He just did not win. He had over 200 hits and batting 343, he scored 118 times, who plays hard every day, stays healthly, and does not get into trouble. Comes up clutch in the playoffs. Then the 240 hitter with 35 HR and k's over 200 times. Have a guy like Bonds and Arod two of the best hitters in the game choke in the playoffs.
I do think Jeter is an overrated defensive shortstop. I am not a yankee fan. or a Jeter fan.
I mean the MVP card is literally what this is about and what I commented on. The original post says he wants his MVP card. He never won MVP, he was never good enough to win MVP, hence why he never did. You can never get a Jeter MVP because he never was, end of story.
You could have left the part out that he was never good enough, that is the part I am talking about. That statement is a false statement.

It's not false, it's true. If he was good enough he would have, he was in an environment where his teams success makes him a candidate every year and the media favoritism towards his team gives him a boost as well. He could not have been in a better environment, his environment actually boosted his chances. He never put together a season deserving of it, he was never the best player, he was always outplayed.
That's why he has 0 MVP awards.

I see you just hate the yankees. You do not seem to know how to do research and post any facts to back up your statement. the 2006 team on paper really was not that great. Had a ton of Vet who knew how to win. You should try researching info stop with your opinion. Stop being jealous of teams that build winning culture aka environments.

I know exactly how MVPs work and why Jeter doesn't have one. He literally was never good enough. Long career, hall of famer, sure, but he was never anywhere close to best player in the league or most valuable, let alone he was never even the best SS in the AL.
He spent his career slapping singles (130 ISO) in one of the most hitter friendly parks on the most stacked teams of the steroid era.
You're literally arguing about a guy that never one MVP who couldn't have been in a better environment his entire career.
0 MVPs, sorry to break your heart kiddo.

First off I am not no kiddo you moron, second you have no clue. No point in continuing this conversation with someone who does not know baseball. You really should do your research. The 2006 team was not stacked. You should really go look at stuff before you just assume things. Why do you have a problem with how winning teams are built. Most teams that win are stacked with good players. Is'nt the point to build the best possible team to win. You just refuse to actually research stuff and just give your bias opinion. I already said he was an overrated Defensively SS. You should get your head out of you A$$

Bernie was a yankee not bought, Posada yankee not bought, Cano was a yankee not bought. This guy does not get how sports works, and jealous of teams that got out get the best players they can to win a championship. How many HOF did the yankees go out and get in trade of FA, 2 counting AROD..

Derek Jeter never won an MVP because he was never good enough to. So you won't ever see an MVP card of him.
He did finish top 3 three times in his career.
Funny way of saying he never won. The MVP card can't exist because he was never MVP.
Again I was just making a statement in response to saying he was never good enough. Not about him getting a card in a Video game. He did finish 2nd one of those years. To say he was never good enough is false statement.
It's not false, he wasn't good enough to win MVP, he didn't win it... Even at his best with all of NY media and hype around him the best he could do is first loser.
Fact: he wasn't good enough to win. If he was, he would have.
That is an Ignorant statement. Plenty of HOF and great players never won the MVP but that does not mean they were not good enough, it means other players were a little bit better That season and how the Voters saw it. The person who wins does is not always the one who should have won.
Jeter played on a team that was immensely favored in any sort of media or voting type accomplishment. His entire career he was over hyped and held on a pedestal. His team had an owner spending ungodly amount on payroll far more than any team to be competitive. He literally had every single factor wholely and completely to his favor... And yet still could never put together a year deserving of MVP because he wasn't good enough. Slapping singles with a 130 ISO isn't going to get it done kiddo.
Jeter was flat out not good enough to be an MVP. He was not that caliber player. He is the Craig Biggio in pinstripes.
He was never MVP, and never deserved to be MVP... Not good enough at his best to be the most valuable player. Even with everything in his favor.
You will never get that card
I am not talking about that stupid card that is not what this is about. It is about facts, that fact is he is a HOF player, you can not deny what he did in the post season and what he did over his career, You sound like a jealous fan who hates on a team that does what it needs to do to win, Sports is about winning championship and getting the best players to do that. the Yankees did not win anything from 79 to 95. It is his fault that he played for a Owner who wanted to win? I wonder why the media loved him and hated Bonds. He did put together a year that was good enough. He just did not win. He had over 200 hits and batting 343, he scored 118 times, who plays hard every day, stays healthly, and does not get into trouble. Comes up clutch in the playoffs. Then the 240 hitter with 35 HR and k's over 200 times. Have a guy like Bonds and Arod two of the best hitters in the game choke in the playoffs.
I do think Jeter is an overrated defensive shortstop. I am not a yankee fan. or a Jeter fan.
I mean the MVP card is literally what this is about and what I commented on. The original post says he wants his MVP card. He never won MVP, he was never good enough to win MVP, hence why he never did. You can never get a Jeter MVP because he never was, end of story.
You could have left the part out that he was never good enough, that is the part I am talking about. That statement is a false statement.
It's not false, it's true. If he was good enough he would have, he was in an environment where his teams success makes him a candidate every year and the media favoritism towards his team gives him a boost as well. He could not have been in a better environment, his environment actually boosted his chances. He never put together a season deserving of it, he was never the best player, he was always outplayed.
That's why he has 0 MVP awards.
You do not know how MVP's work, Many players had season where they deserved it and did not win. Every player in every sport who never who an MVP was not good enough to do so because the voters did not vote for them. You know nothing about sports and voters when it comes to these rewards. I see you just hate the yankees. You do not seem to know how to do research and post any facts to back up your statement. the 2006 team on paper really was not that great. Had a ton of Vet who knew how to win. You should try researching info stop with your opinion. Stop being jealous of teams that build winning culture aka environments.
I know exactly how MVPs work and why Jeter doesn't have one. He literally was never good enough. Long career, hall of famer, sure, but he was never anywhere close to best player in the league or most valuable, let alone he was never even the best SS in the AL.
He spent his career slapping singles (130 ISO) in one of the most hitter friendly parks on the most stacked teams of the steroid era.
You're literally arguing about a guy that never one MVP who couldn't have been in a better environment his entire career.
0 MVPs, sorry to break your heart kiddo.
First off I am not no kiddo you moron, second you have no clue. No point in continuing this conversation with someone who does not know baseball. You really should do your research. The 2006 team was not stacked. You should really go look at stuff before you just assume things. Why do you have a problem with how winning teams are built. Most teams that win are stacked with good players. Is'nt the point to build the best possible team to win. You just refuse to actually research stuff and just give your bias opinion. I already said he was an overrated Defensively SS. You should get your head out of you A$$
Lmao dude your wild assumptions are hilarious. You honestly have no idea how big of a baseball head you're talking to and I watched Jeters whole career.
The fact you think I have a problem with winning teams just showed an insane lack of reading comprehension. At what point did I ever day that as a negative? It's a monster positive to his benefit. How many times does it need to be said that Jeter had all possible situational variances wholely and completely on his favor throughout his career and still never produced MVP type numbers. Slapping singles with a 130 ISO during the steroid era doesn't get it done, he literally never put up MVP numbers. He has all star seasons sure, but never MVP numbers, never. And that was with the entire benefit of every single variable in his favor - band box home park, stacked teams with unlimited payroll, media favoritism, winning teams that automatically put anyone in MVP talk year in and year out, literally everything you can ask for in his favor -- and yet he never put a season together worthy of MVP because he just flat out wasnt that type of player... Steady but vastly overrated fielder, limited power, singles hitter that set the table efficiently, clutch, long career -- but he was an all star caliber player with a very lengthy career on a stacked and historic franchise that recieved insane media attention, not an MVP caliber player...
You keep mentioning 2006... Ummm 14 HR and 97 RBI? Hey he scored 118 runs because ARod is crushing 35 bombs with 121 RBI and Gianni is smacking 37 bombs with 113 RBI... He had a 900 OPS and was still 4th on his team behind ARod, Gianni, and Abreu who lit it up after they traded for him... Meanwhile you got Morneau crushing 34 bombs and 130 RBI out in Minny, hell David Ortiz only came in 3rd because of DH stigma the dude ripped 54 bombs, 137 RBI, 115 R, with a 1.049 OPS. .. freaking Jermaine Dye hit 315/1.006 with 44 bombs, 120 RBI, 103 R... It wasn't an MVP season, not at all, even with the media and every possible variance fully in his favor. He ranked 18th in the league in in wRC+ that year with a 138 and that's the best example you can put up? lol just proves the point.
He's not MVP caliber, he was put on a pedestal and had every single factor fully in favor, you couldn't ask for anything else to go more in his way, and he still didn't produce at MVP level because that's not what he is. Long career, steady AS caliber player with clutch playoff performances... But not an MVP type guy... Which is exactly why he rightfully has ZEROOOOOO.

Here is the difference that you seem to not understand. Other players are deserving just because you do not win the MVP does not mean another player was not deserving. I already stated some of those player you mention could have won the MVP that year and were deserving, Johan Santana should have actually won the MVP that year IMO.

You will never get that card
I am not talking about that stupid card that is not what this is about. It is about facts, that fact is he is a HOF player, you can not deny what he did in the post season and what he did over his career, You sound like a jealous fan who hates on a team that does what it needs to do to win, Sports is about winning championship and getting the best players to do that. the Yankees did not win anything from 79 to 95. It is his fault that he played for a Owner who wanted to win? I wonder why the media loved him and hated Bonds. He did put together a year that was good enough. He just did not win. He had over 200 hits and batting 343, he scored 118 times, who plays hard every day, stays healthly, and does not get into trouble. Comes up clutch in the playoffs. Then the 240 hitter with 35 HR and k's over 200 times. Have a guy like Bonds and Arod two of the best hitters in the game choke in the playoffs.
I do think Jeter is an overrated defensive shortstop. I am not a yankee fan. or a Jeter fan.
I mean the MVP card is literally what this is about and what I commented on. The original post says he wants his MVP card. He never won MVP, he was never good enough to win MVP, hence why he never did. You can never get a Jeter MVP because he never was, end of story.
You could have left the part out that he was never good enough, that is the part I am talking about. That statement is a false statement.
It's not false, it's true. If he was good enough he would have, he was in an environment where his teams success makes him a candidate every year and the media favoritism towards his team gives him a boost as well. He could not have been in a better environment, his environment actually boosted his chances. He never put together a season deserving of it, he was never the best player, he was always outplayed.
That's why he has 0 MVP awards.
You do not know how MVP's work, Many players had season where they deserved it and did not win. Every player in every sport who never who an MVP was not good enough to do so because the voters did not vote for them. You know nothing about sports and voters when it comes to these rewards. I see you just hate the yankees. You do not seem to know how to do research and post any facts to back up your statement. the 2006 team on paper really was not that great. Had a ton of Vet who knew how to win. You should try researching info stop with your opinion. Stop being jealous of teams that build winning culture aka environments.
I know exactly how MVPs work and why Jeter doesn't have one. He literally was never good enough. Long career, hall of famer, sure, but he was never anywhere close to best player in the league or most valuable, let alone he was never even the best SS in the AL.
He spent his career slapping singles (130 ISO) in one of the most hitter friendly parks on the most stacked teams of the steroid era.
You're literally arguing about a guy that never one MVP who couldn't have been in a better environment his entire career.
0 MVPs, sorry to break your heart kiddo.
First off I am not no kiddo you moron, second you have no clue. No point in continuing this conversation with someone who does not know baseball. You really should do your research. The 2006 team was not stacked. You should really go look at stuff before you just assume things. Why do you have a problem with how winning teams are built. Most teams that win are stacked with good players. Is'nt the point to build the best possible team to win. You just refuse to actually research stuff and just give your bias opinion. I already said he was an overrated Defensively SS. You should get your head out of you A$$
Lmao dude your wild assumptions are hilarious. You honestly have no idea how big of a baseball head you're talking to and I watched Jeters whole career.
The fact you think I have a problem with winning teams just showed an insane lack of reading comprehension. At what point did I ever day that as a negative? It's a monster positive to his benefit. How many times does it need to be said that Jeter had all possible situational variances wholely and completely on his favor throughout his career and still never produced MVP type numbers. Slapping singles with a 130 ISO during the steroid era doesn't get it done, he literally never put up MVP numbers. He has all star seasons sure, but never MVP numbers, never. And that was with the entire benefit of every single variable in his favor - band box home park, stacked teams with unlimited payroll, media favoritism, winning teams that automatically put anyone in MVP talk year in and year out, literally everything you can ask for in his favor -- and yet he never put a season together worthy of MVP because he just flat out wasnt that type of player... Steady but vastly overrated fielder, limited power, singles hitter that set the table efficiently, clutch, long career -- but he was an all star caliber player with a very lengthy career on a stacked and historic franchise that recieved insane media attention, not an MVP caliber player...
You keep mentioning 2006... Ummm 14 HR and 97 RBI? Hey he scored 118 runs because ARod is crushing 35 bombs with 121 RBI and Gianni is smacking 37 bombs with 113 RBI... He had a 900 OPS and was still 4th on his team behind ARod, Gianni, and Abreu who lit it up after they traded for him... Meanwhile you got Morneau crushing 34 bombs and 130 RBI out in Minny, hell David Ortiz only came in 3rd because of DH stigma the dude ripped 54 bombs, 137 RBI, 115 R, with a 1.049 OPS. .. freaking Jermaine Dye hit 315/1.006 with 44 bombs, 120 RBI, 103 R... It wasn't an MVP season, not at all, even with the media and every possible variance fully in his favor. He ranked 18th in the league in in wRC+ that year with a 138 and that's the best example you can put up? lol just proves the point.
He's not MVP caliber, he was put on a pedestal and had every single factor fully in favor, you couldn't ask for anything else to go more in his way, and he still didn't produce at MVP level because that's not what he is. Long career, steady AS caliber player with clutch playoff performances... But not an MVP type guy... Which is exactly why he rightfully has ZEROOOOOO.
Go look at Atluve numbers in 2017 was he deserving of the MVP by your standards. No way he should have won the MVP. Judge should have won. Altuve Number are pretty identical to Jeter in 2006. Anyone with those numbers by your standards are not deserving of the MVP.
Go look at McCutchen MVP season not deserving number either, By your standards Goldschmidt should have won. Jeter number in 2006 were better than McCutchens.
I get that Jeter in 2006 the number were deserving if he would have won. Other players were deserving as well that has been my point.
Posey over Braun in 2012 you should disagree with that one as well
Was Kemp deserving in 2011 over Braun, Yes Kemp should have won that MVP.
Pedroia in 2008 was not deserving by your standards but he won.
The list goes on.

Jeter won the gold glove in 2006 lol, You do not win MVP for defense. Overall stats they are pretty identical. Go ahead an pick and chose the ones you want.
Take in to consideration Altuve was on a team that cheated.
