However, when you say he is overrated, on who's rating is that based?
The Media - Even during Jeter's best days, I always felt the media was too in to him, and gave him too much credit.
Fans - Listening to many fans over the years talk about him as though he is one the greatest to play the game
Salary - While salaries aren't an official rating system, the point of different salaries is that the better players should be making the most money, which is why Alex Rodriguez is the highest paid player the league. Although the Yankees do overpay there players with Jason Giambi and Derek Jeter being 2nd and 3rd in the league.
I think that most of the highest paid players in the league are all overpaid. Salaries are way out of hand
Baseball is a mega-million dollar business, and the players are the ones most responsible for that, so they should get their share. But even if you believe that all players are overpaid, you can still look into the structure of salaries in the league and see that one player is overpaid as compared to another players salary.
