Keith Olberman Speaks Out

Sportscaster Keith Olbermann refused to join the Derek Jeter glory fest that has been on going this season by saying yesterday that he believed Derek Jeter was overrated and did not believe he was one of the top ten New York Yankees of all time. Olbermann went on to say in his "rant" that Jeter was a bad defensive player and inferred that he did not believe that Jeter deserved all of the retirement "festivities" he was getting in New York or in any other city. I have always believed that Derek Jeter was overrated. He always had great hitters batting in front of him and behind him and he always got quality pitches to hit. He played Shortstop for the New York Yankees, played on a couple of World Series Champions, and his career numbers rank among the best of all time. How can anyone say he is overrated? He is overrated for all of the reasons I listed above.
