Quote: Animalman said: but I have to say I'm way past tired of hearing the argument that Damon makes the Yankees better because he's a "true leadoff hitter", and Jeter isn't.
i think, think, the thought is that jeter would likely be a second or third hitter on many other teams, but on the yankees, he's simply put there "just because."
still, i agree. as my bias towards him grows, i really think he's one fuck of a great leadoff hitter.
will having damon in the top spot better suit the yankees? yes. why? because it doesn't hurt them. similarly, if the yanks put jeter in the leadoff spot and had damon second, it would make the yankees better.
