Ok, lets say Jeter gives up runs with his defense. So what? He more than makes up for those runs with his bat.

For offense, I like NY. Defense, StL. But St. Louis has to be #1 overall.

Rolen is not far behind A-Rod in my books, especially when you factor in defense, Renteria is far better than Jeter, Pujols is better than Giambi, and both don't have a good 2B. So I'm going with St. Louis. Texas has good yougn talent at all 4 positions, but they arent' as good defensively, or even offensively for that matter.

I would agree. Texas could be the best in years although Soriano's defense at 2B isn't great. I would put the Cards at #1. I would also disagree with those who say that Jeter is awful at SS. Overrated?? Yes. Awful is a bit much. For someone who watches about 98% of his games, I'd say that he's average.
