Oh, so Swanson is gonna be Jeter? Jeter accumulated 72 career WAR.
And ” it may be an inevitable comparison with the special talent they have sitting on the precipice of greatness” Gotcha…
What a joke.

Because the skill set is similar doesn’t mean the careers will be similar. Swanson is a better defender now than Jeter was and is probably as fast as Jeter was in his youth. Jeter had more power, and of course he had the longevity and health very few players enjoy. But the skill sets are pretty similar.

You got to love these Jeter comparisons with these players every couple of years..to only have people post about Derek’s range and so on. Give me a break!

Machado is the best short stop in the AL

Maybe if he actually becomes a full times short stop…
Only 49 of his 608 career starts have been at short…

The saves article is interesting, but incomplete. It would be valuable to track the save percentage as well.
