The question, more appropriately, is really who else is there besides Jeter?
HE is one of the best CLUTCH hitters EVER!! Scouts take a lot of count in what a guy does with a full count, and what a guy does w/ men in scoring position. In those two categories he is the best in the world. (David Eckstein of anaheim excels in those two categories as well, even though he traditionally hits around the mendoza line)
