I never said he isnt super or hasnt been great so far this post season. But hes not really a true Yankee, he's his own island. I live in NY and know a lot of Yankee fans and just about every one I know either dislikes A Rod or is indifferent to him, obviously hoping he does well because it counts for the Yankees success. I dont know a single person who really likes this guy.
If they win the WS? If? LOL, its a foregone conclusion and the irony is the Yankees are so good this year they can win this thing if A Rod were to have gone 0 for 50.

I personally think that he is and always has been a tremendous talent. I also think some people dislike or are indifferent to him because of Captain America (don't know if it's a man love thing, jealousy of talent or some other ridiculous issue). Don't forget that this is a fan base (including myself) who cheered and loved Roger Clemens (A guy who notoriously beaned Jeter on a consistent basis). But A-Rod has always been treated like the step child around here and it hasn't always been warrented. But, Jeter (the Captain, that whatever he says is gospel) has never came to A-Rod's defense. That year he sucked and Torre batted him 8th. Or even the steriods issue. Not once did the Captain come to his defense and stick up for him. This is also the guy that went to bat for Jason Giambi when he apoligized (but no one knew for what). I really believe that's why he hasn't been embraced by all Yankee fans. As far as them winning, nothing is a forgone conclusion. But as long as they keep getting strong starting pitching they have a very good chance of winning it all.

Derek Jeter is such a complete package, I sometimes think hes not real. Hes probably the best baseball player (when it comes to both producing for himself and the team) who has ever played. I cant think of anyone else who has done consistently what he has done. As far as not coming to A Rod's defense, there probably is a pretty good reason for that. Seems like A Rod is just about the only teammate Derek Jeter hasnt completely embraced. That kind of says something, dont you think?
Albert Pujols will probably go down as the most talented and statistically the best ever (in 10-12 years), and it doesnt hurt he has already been a key part in one WS title and guessing there will be at least 1 more. But Derek Jeter is the guy you want any team built around. Not that any of us know these superheros in real life, but doesnt it just seem like Jeter is a pretty good guy in real life too?
