Jeter v Mariano
Why is it that if Jeter remains a SS with the Yankees with a below average OBP and below average SLG that he’s still someone beneficial to the team, but if Mariano Rivera blows save after save when he’s lost it (let’s say he’s 49 years old), that Rivera would be costing the team? Is it because for a pitcher, it’s OBVIOUS that he’s hurting the team because, well, he’s there, standing on the mound alone, like a QB or NHL goalie? And with Jeter, while he is exposed, he’s got cover from the other seven guys on the field and eight guys in the batting lineup?
If you suck, you suck. I’m not saying Jeter is terrible right now, but at some point, he will be. And when that happens, the media should stop protecting him, and expose him as if he was once a great closer who has lost it.
You know, be honest, fair, and reasonable.
