On ESPN sports reporters Bob Ryan was talking about Alex Rodriguez and decried the fact that he was moved to 3rd base so the player "I refuse to name" could play shortstop, even though A-Rod was much the superior fielder at that position. He feels it prevents A-Rod from being recognized as the game's greatest shortstop, (Over Wagner, Ripken and the guy he won't name).
1) I know Ryan is from Boston what is his problem with Derek Jeter?
2) Jeter has 5 Gold Gloves, (2004-06, 2009-10) to Rodriguez's two, (2002-2003, significantly, when were still playing shortstop- Jeter finished behind him). I've been watching the National League through Mets games for decades. Can some of our American League fans compare Jeter and Rodriguez as defensive shortstops?
