Jeter 3 for 17… ARod sucks.

By Tangotiger, 09:46 AM

If ARod had the series Jeter had, we’d never hear the end of it.

***

Since ARod joined the Yankees, he and Jeter have had an almost identical OBP, and ARod’s slugging is 30 points lower than Jeter. The big difference is that of the 110 times that ARod has come to bat, he’s driven home 5 runners on base. Of the 115 times Jeter has come up, he’s driven home 12 runners. I’d hate to look at ARod’s post-season stats with men on base.
