Let's look at the span of Jeter's career, 1995-2014.
 
Top players by fWAR:
1. Alex Rodriguez 111.3
2. Barry Bonds 99.1
3. Albert Pujols 90.5
4. Chipper Jones 84.7
5. Derek Jeter 73.6
 
So according to fWAR, Jeter was the fifth most valuable position player over the span of his career. Of course that doesn't say anything about peak level, but it does give a sense of just how consistently good he's been over two decades. There are probably a few dozen players who were better than him during that span at their peaks, but only four who contributes more overall value.

The first post game interview he did he said, "just run fast" about 10 ten times. 

There is only one trophy they need to win this year.
 

Shoe has definitely been a HUGE surprise, but there's this guy named Trout who plays everyday... so there's that...

I hope Mr. Shoemaker comes in here and bitch slaps you.

I like bagging on CJ as much as the next fan - and he does a great job of supplying us material... but I wonder how many other guys would take it upon themselves and go to such lengths to be a part of the solution...
 
And where the Foxtrot is Butcher...!?!?!

I think you mean "Michael Phelps"...
 
Best swimmer in the bunch...

Good troll for your Dodger fan acquaintances: It's alright, Trout didn't hit any either.
At first they think you're being nice....
Trust me it works, already hit my dad and brother with it.

There is no greater icon and ambassador for this franchise than #15 "King Fish"...

Any "Top 10" list with the word "Fuentes" contained therein is an abomination...

Ryan, Tanana, Finley, Chance, Wright, Witt, Lackey, Blyleven, Weaver, Messersmith.

It is kind of hard to ignore Percy as the all time Angels saves leader with over 300 saves as a Angel.
I think I would vote for something like this...
 
1. PERCY - All time saves leader for the Angels.
2. K-Rod - Second most saves as a Angel.
3. Harvey - Loved Harvey but  he left us for the Marlins.
4. Lee - Our first big time closer.
5. Moore - Between Moore and Adenhart we have had our share of tragedy with our pitchers
6. Smith - We got him on the downside of his career , But he was still pretty good.
7. Scot Shields - He was never a true closer but did close games for us when the closer could not go. Best set up man to ever  wear a Angel uniform.
8. Frieri - When he is on he does well... When he is not we blow huge games. Like Mark Clear he has major control problems.
9. Clear - Had his control issues but was first pitcher to get 100 K's without a start. Mostly a set up man and occasional closer like Shields.
10. Walden - We have had some great closers who hung around for quite a while so from here on down it is a toss up...

With a freakishly low IQ and maturity level...

...I couldn't believe it.  All of the Chromebooks had their home pages set to AngelsWin.com.  I don't know how that happened.
 

Pujols for Shawn Kemp

Getting swept at home - regardless of the time of year - is never a good sign...
 
It's even worse when it comes at the hands of a divisional opponent...
 
Worse yet, when the opponent should finish behind you in the standings...
 
 
But the scariest thought - up next: Houston...

I'm a little surprised we're middle of the road... If I had the chance to take my kids to see a visiting team with the best player in baseball for the past 10 years AND the best player for the next 10 years - I'd jump at the opportunity...

Giuseppe Smith...

Someone needs to fix the date in these GDTs.    Yesterday's thread title showed 3/4, and today shows 3/5.
 
Update: this one was fixed, and thanks.   My job here is finished.

It's tough enough being around AngelsWin members let alone worrying about these other categories.  Acceptance of other viewpoints doesn't come easy here at all.

YoT is summonsed, just like aqua man with fish, every time he can bash Albert. It's really quite nauseating. It certainly isn't entertaining. Remember in grade school that girl who answered all the questions basically to hear herself talk? Well her name is YoT.
