    I may be adding more (no more than 15 total) later on. This poll isn't saying one player sucks, but isn't as good as he is portrayed to be. My vote goes to Beltran. For that contract, the position and the city he plays in, all of his seasons should be more like last year's, not '05 or '07.

    Number of rings for Mr. Jeter since the Tino-O'Neill-Brosius-Cone core left the team and he became the captain, please?

    Number of steps it takes for Mr. Jeter to get to a routine grounder, please?

    Number of teammates Mr. Jeter has thrown under the bus because he doesn't like them, please?

    Number of hitting streaks Mr. Jeter has tried to keep alive by flailing at pitches in the seventh inning or later, please?

    those of us in the know understand thatjeter is unerrated, if anything. arguing that he belongs on any overrated list is proof of that.

    I like to think I'm in the know (I know, I know, it's funny, don't shatter my delusions of grandeur) and I think he's way the hell overrated.

    I guess we will agree to disagree. Here, a picture to mend our broken fences!!!!

    I don't think J.D. "My Gunt Is Pulled" Drew has been overrated since about his third season in St. Louis. Execpt by dumb-as-fuck GMs who continue to throw money at a guy for 100 games a season. Braves got one good season out of him, but that's still a one-sided trade for St. Louis because of Wainwright alone.
