My question is how many people that want Jeter would use Paul Molitor? That is basically what a Jeter card would be.
cringe take
Actually this is pretty accurate take. Both are solid hitters with little pop. Good defense, average arm and a little bit of speed on the bases but not fast. Most people think of Jeter as this God like player but he was just the face of the franchise for a big market team that was great for a decade. He also got a ton of exposure
because they were making deep playoff runs every year. When you put Jeter into MLB the Show, his game probably translates close to Paul Molitor's. But people would love Jeter just for the name, people outside of the Midwest probably don't even really know Paul Molitor. -

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner.
Jean Segura is currently rated as an 83 Gold. Which is what Jeter's amalgamated Postseason card would look like ... with worse defense.
Sorry Yankee-stans, but He. Just. Wasn't. That. Great.
Anthony Rizzo is an 80 gold but has a 96 flashback lol

Meaning that Rizzo isn't currently at his peak.
Even when Jeter was at his peak, he was Jean Segura. With worse defense.
Stats. Don't. Lie.
