When people deride this kind of hagiography--and it should be derided--I'm never sure if it's aimed wholly at the people who write it, or at Jeter too. I mean, he doesn't write this stuff.

Seager became the first major leaguer to hit two triples and at least one homer and one double since Hal Breeden for Montreal in 1973, STATS said. The last AL player to do it was Hoot Evers for Detroit in 1950.
"That's definitely a special one," Seager said. "That's definitely one I'll remember, for sure."
His second triple was aided by a rare mental mistake by Jeter.
Seager hit a blooper down the line that bounced off the glove of sliding left fielder Brett Gardner. Jeter was also giving chase and had a chance to make the catch off the deflection, but couldn't come up with it.
With his back to third base umpire Brian Gorman, Jeter did not see the fair signal. When he corralled the ball in foul ground, he continued to jog several steps toward the corner. He looked surprised when he turned, and his throw to third was too late.
Phelps hollered "throw the ball!" as Seager headed to third. After the play was over, Jeter could be seen on television saying "I thought it was foul" as he walked back to the infield.
"I'm in for the bunt and went back on the popup. It never crossed my mind that it was fair. I almost gave it to a fan," Jeter said. "I thought for sure the ball was foul because I was in foul territory."

I don't judge him for it (much), just seems the elephant in the room considering his Public Profile otherwise reads like Boys Life copy from 1973.

"Derek Jeter is ranked 12 out of 13 in OPS among AL shortstops. He is ranked 81 out of 85 qualifying AL baseball players in OPS. He is ranked 154 out of 168 qualifying baseball players in OPS. He will start the All-Star game. Must be the defense."

I mentioned on another thread that I started watching a DVD of Fidrych's Monday night start against the Yankees in 1976. Before the game, all the Yankees introduce themselves (probably still new then). Billy Martin goes last: "Billy Martin, manager, born in Berkeley, California, died in New York City." And that was in '76, before the real fun started.

I'm down for hating on Jeter as much as anyone - but how much of that can be blamed on Jeter? Ultimately it's Girardi's decision - and I wouldn't be surprised if the front office pressured him to make sure Jeter was front and centre as often as possible.

If the Yankees want to tank their playoff chances so that Jeter can be front and centre, it's fine with me.
Lots of HOF-level players batted lower in the lineup, shifted to an easier defensive position, or accepted less than full time roles late in their careers. I think it's generally agreed that Jeter has refused to do at least two of the three. If he was really the selfless team leader who would do anything to win (according to his reputation) then he wouldn't be hitting second every day.
