Pretty awful numbers for a 21-year old. Such a bust.

Aramis Ramirez is from the Dominican. He wasn't drafted.

Ah gotcha. I was using Fangraphs. I guess Ozzie doesn't rank as highly there.

The graphic you're thinking of was showing 12 year peak, not overall. Jeter has a higher career WAR.

I "changed it" by responding to what you said, which was of a different topic.

The subject has been the same for each response.

You're confusing "strawman" with "hyperbole". Making hyperbolic claims about peoples' conspiracy theories isn't a separate point. It's pointing out the ridiculousness of the anti-Jeter bullshit that's overrun this site of late and, specifically, regarding the walk-off tonight. People on Deadspin have decided they

No, they've also blamed Markakis, the catcher, the 2nd baseman's positioning, and Showalter. Look through this comment section. People are looking for any reason they can to shit on this so they can pat themselves on the back for falling in line with Deadspin's "Jeter's not that great" meme.

I see you're unfamiliar with the pitching prowess of Evan Meek.

Let's ignore that it was a good throw but that the runner is a PR who is exclusively on the team to PR and is really fast. It doesn't fit the Deadspin/Jeter meme.

Yeah, and they totally let Jose Pirela lead off the inning with a single, too. And Robertson did a great job of allowing a walk on a bad call, plus two home runs but also not giving up a fourth run to make sure the game was tied. And yeah, the two homers the O's hit to start the game were totally set up, too. And also

Or, you know, higher than any SS in history other than Wagner and Ripken. But sure, we'll go with your version.

Even ignoring the extenuating circumstances, going after the guy .611 OPS and then walking McCann (who has been hot of late) to get to Teixeira would be the right move.

You really didn't pick up on the super straightforward explanation in the last scene that flat out told everybody that they weren't dead the whole time?

Weird how McCann didn't do that when basically the same thing happened to his teammate tonight.
