No. How are you leaping from Jeter being great to those two being great?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
This post... man, that's just JORR in essence right there.


Why? Because it's so logical you don't know what to do with it?

How do you leap from a great hitter to being a great position player?

Whatever that was, it was NOT logic.

Could we agree that Adam Dunn was a great hitter in the NL? I think we can.
So could we substitute Dunn in your quote?

He's great. And he plays left field. Ergo, he is a great leftfielder. He can't be separated from his defense.

There's a faulty premise in there, Tarski.

Play that position. Ted Williams was one of the greatest outfielders ever. Is that not true?

No it isn't. Adam Dunn isn't a great player. Even if you think he was, he has never been someone a team was satisfied with at any position on the field. No one in baseball has ever complained about Jeter's defense. Only guys on the Internet do that.

So Adam Dunn can be separated from his defense and Jeter cannot.
Got it.
Different rules to fit the JORR rule of the moment. :lol:

Run along now, Darkside. It's about time for you to respond to posts I didn't even make. At least some guys have enough class to send the object of their obsessions a bag of Skittles or write a song for them.

Adam Dunn is not- nor has he ever been- great. You really don't grasp logic, do you?

I'm responding to your nitwitty posts right here.
Would you like me to write a song about you? Is that what this is all about?

The near 400 HR's don't convince you at all? Pretty good OPS too. Not to mention years of consistancy in power numbers...??
You didn't find him to be a great hitter in the NL?

And if you don't want to use Dunn, use Castro and Ramirez.

Are Starlin Castro and Alexei Ramirez great Shortstops?

Is Aramis Ramirez a great 3B?

No. Why don't you try Ted Williams?

No.

Explain why Jeter is a great SS and Ramirez isn't a great 3B.

Hester is a great kick returner. He is also a receiver; ergo he is a great wide receiver.

One answer, and it doesn't do a lot to help your argument, is that Jeter has put up his numbers while playing the most important defensive position on the field. And he has played that position for multiple World Series champions.

But this is argument for the sake of argument. You, and everyone else who has even a cursory interest in baseball, knows that Aramis Ramirez isn't close to being the player Derek Jeter is.

Speigs is a great singer! He is also a talk show host! Ergo, he is a great talk show host!

Are kick returners now required to catch passes? I must have missed that. The NFL changes rules so often it's difficult to keep up.

You're really having trouble with this logic thing, aren't you, Goedel?

I didn't say he was.

If Derek Jeter is a great SS rather than a great player in your world, then Aramis Ramirez is a great 3B as well.

Most of them are. But the fact that a guy played short for twenty seasons when there was another option speaks to his ability to play the field.

Or it speaks to the fact that no one wanted to upset the Captain even though there is a better option.
