I agree DJ. Just because Jeter is on a team full of stars shouldn't have any bearing on him as an individual player. I think it says a lot about what type of player he is when you are on a roster like the Yankees and can stand head and shoulders above the rest of those stars. Now does everyone understand why Jeter gets a "free pass" from Yankee fans and why A-Rod gets booed so much during the regular season? Jeter comes through when we need it most while A-Rod wasn't horrible last night, but he also didn't have 5 hits either.
