Even a Pitbull would take the porter house steak on the top over the
t-bone steak on the bottom.
I like Jeter as a player but his numbers are not better this year, it isn't a life time acheivement award, it is who is the most valueable player. Jeter's offensive numbers are not better and he is a middle of the road defensive player. He had much better offensive players batting behind him. Which should correlate to better offensive numbers because you can't pitch around him. Morneau had Jason Kuebel batting behind him for half the year. I don't even think he made the playoff roster for the Twins.
