Is Derek Jeter the best shortstop?

[Spencer]

That being said, watching Derek Jeter make 40 defensive plays and then watching Adam Everett make 40 defensive plays at the same position is sort of like watching video of Barbara Bush dancing at the White House, and then watching Demi Moore dancing in Striptease. The two men could not possibly be more different in the style and manner in which they run the office. Jeter, in 40 plays, had maybe three plays in which he threw with his feet set. He threw on the run about 20-25 times; he jumped and threw about 10-15 times, he threw from his knees once. He threw from a stable position only when the ball, by the way it was hit, pinned him back on his heels.

I live in Houston and have seen Adam Everett play a lot and i think that Jeter is more of a showman and Everett is a get the job done kind of guy. So I think personaly Everett is a better feilder with better range because he can make the sectacular Jeter plays rutein

Although the spelling is a little off I agree

I think he’s a good shortstop, but the best leader.
