I used to have a Vlad/Sheff batting stance combo in little league 
. I was the only one in the league who didn't use batting gloves

The whole "doesn't deserve to be unanimous" thing is so dumb. Just because Mickey Mantle or Nolan Ryan weren't unanimous doesn't mean future players should suffer.
Jeter is the definition of a unanimous Hall of Famer. So is Griffey. So are countless other players.

I said arguably.
I'm taking Omar though.

What does being unanimous get you though? I think it's all frivolous so long as they get in.

At the end of the day, yeah, it means nothing.
My point is there's some players where you can't seriously look at their career and say "Nah, he's not a Hall of Famer". Jeter is one of those guys that's undeniable.

Jeter overrated and doesn’t belong, hahahaha
Great numbers, showed up in the playoffs and was the face of a team and the leader of 5 championships.
You can say he was in a perfect situation and was surrounded by great players but he did his job and is one of the best

Only 5 people who ever wore baseball uniforms have more hits than him. hall of famer the day he retired my child. Thats facts.

Yeah, Jeter most definitely belongs. 3000 hits is one of those baseline standard for most voters, similar to 500 HRs, and Jeter is well over that. Was he overrated? Of course. However as much as most of us hated the Yanks, as baseball fans you have to acknowledge the man balled the hell out. That period with him, Nomar, and A-Rod shape why I even care about the sport despite being in the demographic that should have no business still giving a damn about it.

There isnt a single defensive metric that would agree with who you are taking.
