No way has Jeter done more for his team than Podsey. Pods is a HUGE part of why the Sox have been so dominating this year. His hard work and caliber of play has done a lot more for the Sox than Jeter's "leadership" of the Yankees. Stat's be damned, I think it'd be foolished to say Jeter deserves it more.

Did pods help the sox era???
I don't mean to discredit the Sox's pitching, but Pod's contribution to the team chemistry, his aggressiveness on the bases path, his ability to ignite and inspire the other hitters in the Chi Sox's lineup is a huge reason to their being the best team in baseball.

Quote from JustAnotherYanksFan
I think he says it very well.
I think the success of the White Sox might have more to do with the fact that they're first in the MLB in Team ERA, as opposed to 25th last year Buehrle, Garcia and Garland are all having monster years, and their bullpen has been awesome. All I'm saying is that just because Podsednik is there now and wasn't before, that doesn't mean that he's the reason for their success. (The fact that they are 11th in the MLB in runs scored this year - as opposed to 3rd last year - also supports the idea that their pitching, and not Podsednik, is the reason for their success.)

Please. The Sox offense has gotten worse since Pods got there. And the "inspires his teammates and helps team chemistry?" Give me a break; there's nothing along those lines that Pods does that Derek Jeter doesn't and Pods stats are simply an embarassment compared to Jeter's.
Pods has 9 win shares, Jeter 11. Not a huge difference.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
Pooja, your argument is garbage. Complete garbage. You can't do anything to prove that Pods is better than Jeter except say ignorant statements like:
His hard work and caliber of play has done a lot more for the Sox than Jeter's "leadership" of the Yankees. Stat's be damned, I think it'd be foolished to say Jeter deserves it more.
Wtf? You're just being foolish. I don't even think Jeter should be an all-star over some of the other guys on the ballot, but Pods is not one of them. Your letting your hatred of Jeter, or of the Yankees, or of both just blind you. There is no chance in hell Pods is a better player than Derek Jeter, this year, or any year. To even make an argument for that is a joke.
MWeir and George Foreman, I completely agree with you, the all-star game "counting" is a travesty. Nobody cares, least of all the players, and Selig thinks putting something like home-field on the line will make them care. He's an ass. But Francona wasn't thinking of what player would be better to help them win, because he didn't choose Podsednik, the fans did (or the clowns who claim they watch baseball).
52 runs, 22 doubles, 14 HR, 53 RBI, 19 SB and .276 AVG with the greatest centerfield play know to man versus Jeter's
68 runs, 12 doubles, 11 HR, 37 RBI, 10 SB and .310 AVG with average to slightly above average SS play.
Quit crying yankee's fans, T-Nutz got robbed, not the pretty boy.
