Where is Derek Jeter's Recognition?
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are .

that hurt my head

I'm not even going to bother to read it. The last thing Derek Jeter needs is recognition.

Yeah, right, Ichiro is a big HR hitter. What a dumbass.

Okay so I read it and my head hurts. Why even link to this? lol It's not even a sportswriter or anything. It's just some idiot on another message board.

who had terrible grammar to begin with.
he wouldn't even be worth speaking to, or debating anything with. He rules out all possiblilites of anything other reasoning ever being accepted in his first few lines. It hurt my head the first time i started to read it. I couldn't finish it.

None of you are worthy enough to wash Derek Jeter's nut sack.

It's actually worth seeing those arguments made by the original poster there. They are awful. All the typical jeter lover affair comments.
He was great in the playoffs (doesn't matter in mvp voting)
he deserves one because of his career (mvp for the year, not career)
he plays shortstop (mauer is a catcher, even harder position)
I just feel he deserves one (which is why you are not a voter, you have an opinion, not a valuable inteligent thought built for your argument)
He is one of the most clutch hitters of all time (impossible to prove)
He goes on to say that all the mvp award winners in the past have been juicers (didn't know pujols and pedroia were juicers, and if you are the most valuable by hitting homers, than you are)
He says Jeter is the greatest shortstop in the game, and probably the greatest of all time (I am pretty sure that guy in Florida, ya know, that younger guy, he is pretty good, oh and ya know, guys like Wager, Smith, Appracio, even a-rod, ripken etc have all had great careers too)
He seems to give batting average a lot of merit (it's a valuable stat to look at, but there are many more stats that tell a greater value, for example, obp and ops)
The dude's grammar is awful! (I commented about it, but then my comment got deleted, that was very painful to read)
Your typical jeter hard on fan that is so blind to what is real that he is prepared to make up whatever he can to try and say his guy has earned the mvp.
I could do the same thing with Carp and waino and try to prove they have won over Lincecum, but they didn't really (and i tried). Blind fandom is worse than fair weather fandom sometimes

Most of the voters don't have that either.

i am really hoping that this year, at least a high majority do not vote like Hardicourt in Milwaukee
Im watching you
Its dumb****s like him that make me hate Yankee fans.

Agreed. I am pretty sure he has gotten so much recognition that people really believe he is an amazing fielding shortstop and I'm pretty sure I hear enough praise on every national broadcast about him. Enough recognition.
Agreed. Plus I was born to hate them.
Ready for Offseason rumors and trade talk!
