Comments on: Do the Phillies’ really have the best infield of the modern era? http://riveraveblues.com/2010/03/do-the-phillies-really-have-the-best-infield-of-the-modern-era-24914/ A New York Yankees Blog Mon, 28 May 2012 17:57:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Aaron http://riveraveblues.com/2010/03/do-the-phillies-really-have-the-best-infield-of-the-modern-era-24914/#comment-1843843 Aaron Sat, 09 Apr 2011 12:43:56 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=24914#comment-1843843 There are plenty of bad writers from New York already, no need for more. I'm a Yankees fan too but you can't really knock the Phillies infield because they are far superior, at least for the time being. So stop being an idiot and stick to scrubbing McDonald's floor.

But through the same age seasons (both guys had first full season at 22, I stopped the comparison after age 30 season) they have extremely similar numbers." Your comparison is fine. But back to the original point: Jeter won't hit for as much power as Rollins NEXT SEASON. Is it fine for evaluating next seasons performance? No. You're basing next years production off of some seasons a decade plus old. It doesn't make sense. "I think when Jimmy Rollins catches up to Jeter in terms of seasons played, barring any kind of injury, he is going to have pretty similar power numbers to the Captain." Okay. But we're talking about 2010. And the past 3 or 4 years of performance tells us Derek Jeter is an inferior power hitter. “And I like my comparison just fine.

Conversely, Guidry's first six full seasons are much stronger than I remember. But, if Guidry's in, then Gomez should be as well.
