Jeter v Rose

By Tangotiger, 09:35 AM

Some good stuff from Poz. I like these quotes:

Or you can look at the Baseball Reference neutralized statistics for the two men through age 34:

Rose: .323/.392/.449
Jeter: .315/.386/.458

Here’s a fun Rose statistic that tells you something: Rose is second all-time in doubles, and he led the league in doubles five times. But the thing that strikes a chord is that he never led the league in doubles BEFORE he turned 33. ... There are three men who hit 40 or more doubles three times after their 35th birthday. They are all Hall of Famers and all-time hustlers — Tris Speaker, George Brett and Craig Biggio. … Pete Rose did it four times.

Poz takes Rose over Jeter, and Allen Barra takes Raines over Rose. And I’ll complete the cycle and take, on a whim Raines over Jeter.
