27 Time World Champions Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Derek Jeter is having an MVP caliber year at 38. Just last year, he was washed up and couldn't hit the ball out of the infield. He gets hurt, comes back, hits #3000 and has been on a tear ever since. No shortstop in the history of baseball has had a season like this at his age. He is the face of baseball and the epitome of clean. Is the Yankee icon above suspicion? You have to at least wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 MVP caliber year????? Yes, look at his numbers. what part of mvp caliber year don't you understand, and he is clean! never doubt jeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27 Time World Champions Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 MVP caliber year????? It's a stretch, I know, but he leads all of baseball in hits and 3rd in AL with .324 batting average and is playing some of his best ball of his career. If Mike Trout goes down with a season ending injury (and soon)....my vote would go to Jeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckedTooth Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I can't believe you are starting this topic. I would expect if from Mr Sarcastic. 1. No MLB'er is above suspicion. However, Jeter has a track record for this type of season. It isn't like he "is coming on" like Melky all of a sudden did. The other factor is the injury factor last year. Because Jeter says more than anyone while telling you nothing it is impossible to really know the true extent of his injury last year. Also, he finished last season very well. 2. MVP- Yes If Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout don't get their teams to the playoffs, especially now with the extra team, then Jeter should get it.

WolfMan Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Friday on The Loose Cannons on 1430am radio they were discussing and taking calls on which athletes of today are no-doubt-about-it clean and Mr Jeter often came up as Mr Clean.

27 Time World Champions Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I simply beat Mr. Sarcastic to the topic. For what it's worth. I think Jeter is clean. If for no other reason, he would never give the haters the satisfaction. If #2 tests positive.....just burn the city down. Check out the stats of Aaron, Ruth, Cobb, Mays, etc... It's amazing how even these guys had an off year and came back strong. Even late in their careers. If there's ever a first unanimous Hall choice. Jeter's it.

He batted 298 last year...... 2 years ago he looked like crap batting 270. If you know anything about Jeter you that if he has a bad year at the plate he's gonna work hard over the winter and raise his average the next...... Always has raised his average 20 to 25 PTA every time he batts below 300. Check out his career stays. He's above reproach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yankees schtick is just to piss people off. Ever think Jeter just injects some steroids when he starts slacking? If Lance Armstrong can test positive so can the golden boy. By the way do you know what Jeters Dad is? Yep, a Doctor. Jeter isnt above reproach or suspicion. Get a clue. If somebody put a gun to my head, I'd say the guy has juiced on a few occasions and hes definitely doing it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off Armstrong NEVER tested positive in any of the thousands of blood and urine tests..... Secondly Jeter has and never will take steroids.... Bitter and broken mets, Boston and reds fans can say all the stupid things you want I'd bet my house on that! You can that to the bank .....RETARD!!!!!

Guest Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 job well done 27 for bringing the sports forum back to life. Armstrong never tested positive and you still believe in bigfoot. Lance ended his fight because he knows hes dirty. I never would have believed Jeter until this season. Hes off the charts and since there is no test for hgh during the season I wouldnt put it past the King of NY. I hope the guy tests positive just to watch the house fold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman, I won't embarrass you by comparing you to Johnny Bench. Yes, it's true! I was an 8-year old kid cheering for the Big Red Machine in 1976 when they annihilated the Yankees. I have all 4 games on DVD (not many people can say that). After the '76 Series, the Reds traded the heart of the team in Tony Perez and the rest is a sad story. I started this topic to rattle the cage. Like I said before. I don't think Jeter is juicing. How sure am I? I'd say about 95% sure. Not a chance in Hades I'd bet my house or bank account on it though and nobody else in BCVoice-Land would either if given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell are you talking about....... He's at his career stats..... During his career he's around a 320 ...12-15 hr..... 70 RBI Hitter. He's right where he should be..... He's the same type of hitter Pete rose was..... Doubles in the gap and ground balls up the middle and in the holes. He's not and never has been a power hitter.... That's not his game. He's Dh-ing a lot more this season which I think is really helping him and the rest of the guys. I think the Yankees over the last few years have been redefining the DH position..... They don't need or want the Giambi or big poppi type..... Rotating there players in that DH spot is definitely helping out with giving players rest but still utilizing there bat.

Guest Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 38 is ancient for a SS and Jeter is playing like he is 28 Not even close to when he was 28.... His arm has lost a lot and his speed has fallen way off..... He used to be a threat on the bases and used to be able to throw out runners from deep short. He's definitely still the guy I want kit there but not even close to when he was in his 20s . Try again loser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckedTooth Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 His range is pretty pedestrian as it always has been, his arm as the previous poster said is not what it use to be. People are just pissed that he really is that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shortstop in the history of baseball has had a season like this at his age. He is the face of baseball and the epitome of clean. Is the Yankee icon above suspicion? You have to at least wonder I have to correct myself. I just did some research and was pleasantly surprised. Ernie Banks, Honus Wagner, Ozzie Smith and Cal Ripken all had great years at the age of 38. I won't list the stats, but they're not far off from Jeter's numbers. Ripken only played in 86 games when he was 38, but batted .340 and had great power numbers. Unfortunately, guys like Dave Concepcion, Phil Rizzuto, Alan Trammell and Barry Larkin didn't do so well at the same age. Robin Yount retired and didn't play at 38. Ted Williams hit .388 when he was 38. Hank Aaron hit 40 home runs when he was 39. Think it's safe to say those guys weren't on roids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MR SARCASTIC Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 OK , Its time for Mr Sarcastic to way in..............Must be alot of bad scouts out there, 2 years ago he had lost all his range and bat speed, understandable for an aging icon. The yankees reluctantly overpaid him for past services, i guess OK , with what he has meant to the franchise..............Last year he was a double play machine, how many weak 4-3 grounders did we see, should Jetes be dropped in the lineup?, no we cant hurt his EGO............... He goes on the DL last year, and presto, he comes back a new player. His infield rollers and flairs to right, his calling cards, have been replaced by rockets all over the park........You do the math, not too many careers revitalized at 38, maybe yankee legend ROGER the roider. If andy didnt get busted you yankee apologist would have laughed at any roid accusation , so you can believe what you want, but WHEN THERE IS SMOKE THERE IS FIRE......
