"He's our Derek Jeter"

Fuck Fred. Joe McEwing is our Derek Jeter. McEwing gets credit for owning Randy Johnson. His actual numbers: BA: .250 OBP: .244 SLG: .432 OPS: .676 What can be more Derek Jeter than getting praise for excelling in a particular situation even though the numbers paint a much different picture? Joe McEwing is our Derek Jeter. There is also a mom at my daughter's preschool who injured her foot and got really fat over the winter. She is our Derek Jeter.

actually it was Ed Kranepool that originally was quoted as saying that Wright was the Derek Jeter of the Mets...Fred just plagerized... "He's a gentleman," Kranepool said. "He's been with the organization, the club for many, many years and he's been an asset to the organization and continues to do so. As opposed to the guys that create problems on and off the field, David certainly has held himself in a high esteem.To me, he's like the Derek Jeter of the Mets. "How can you wish him bad luck? Certainly if anybody was going to break my record, I'm glad to see that it's David." http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd ... Id=rss_nym

"Our Jeter"/"The Mets' Jeter" has been floating around practically since the day Wright came up. WTF's wrong with "he's David Wright"?

Exactly. I don't want a Jeter! Unless, perhaps, you're talking about this guy: Nah. I don't want him either.

Now this is how you do it. From Neil Best's column about John Tavares of the Islanders in today's Newsday: Before Monday's game, Howie Rose, who calls play-by-play for the Islanders and Mets, compared Tavares to David Wright in the way both blend their talents with classy approaches to their status as team centerpieces. "They are so respectful and so cognizant of their role in helping to galvanize a fan base," he said. "They handle that responsibility flawlessly. I've never, ever, ever heard anybody say a bad word about either David Wright or John Tavares.''
