This is a very tough choice. All though Jeter bats near the top of baseballs best lineup, giving him a TON of runs, renteria is the better shortstop. A lot of people have high expectations for Jeter after the All Star break but the truth is, he won't get that better. People forget that Jeter still has that shoulder thats nagging him. On the other hand, Renteria is a good offensive shortstop who bats behind Rolen, Edmonds, and Pujols. Plus he steals a few bags too. This year I like Renteria because he will have a HUGE second half along with his team, which tradidionally does well after the all star break. But next year, I would love to have Jeter because of the players the boss might bring in. (Kaz Matsui, Miguel Tejada, Carlos Beltran, Vladimir Guerrero)
But overall, I would rather have Edgar.
