YankeeClipper Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Let's compare "choker" Alex Rodriguez to "clutch" Derek Jeter. 2003-2005 Regular Season "Close and Late" situations ESPN.com defines "Close and Late" as when the game is in the 7th inning or later and the batting team is leading by one run, tied, or has the potential tying run on base, at bat, or on deck. Arod: .276 BA / .392 OBP / .553 SLG / .945 OPS Jeter: .249 BA / .352 OBP / .392 SLG / .744 OPS Huge advantage to Arod. Now, let's examine their postseason careers: Arod: .305 BA / .393 OBP / .534 SLG / .927 OPS Jeter: .307 BA / .379 OBP / .463 SLG / .842 OPS Advantage Arod. Please stop with the nonsense.

jranieli Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Speaking of, they are comparing the careers of A-Rod and Tiger Woods on "Around the Horn" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currency Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 ... Wait... ... AND JETER GETS PAID MORE THAN A-ROD BY THE YANKEES (Enter source here)... Jeter CHOKES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorfTVP Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 But note that Derek Jeter has 392 playoff at bats compared to A-rod's 118. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noted, but you cant blame A-rod for those lack of AB's... The other close and late numbers from the regular season 03-05 is much more startling anyway.

Ditto Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Where did these numbers come from. The only playoff stats I could come up with are from 2005 when Alex's only good stat was his OPB. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was done a while ago so the stats may have changed a little but A-Rod has such a big statistical lead on Jeter its doubtful anything that big changed.
