Interesting fact about Jeff Kent is that he finished top 10 in MVP voting 4 times, but wasn't named to the all-star team in 3 of those seasons. He was only a 5x all-star in his career
Removing worthy players because it's "Jeter's year" is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Jeter was great and for sure is an HoFer but is somehow still the most overrated player ever. Why does he need to go in by himself? So so stupid.
Nobody should go in by themselves. Vote for the worthy candidates and whoever gets elected gets elected.

Yup. Jeter = Biggio + ridiculous Yankee hype
This is so true. Jeter played 2747 games at shortstop yet is not in the top 1000 in dWAR. Players who played a fraction of that number of games such as the ones listed above made the list. Travis Shaw has only played 5 seasons and he made the list.
All Star games are popularity contest and Jeff Kent wasn't really a popular dude.Interesting fact about Jeff Kent is that he finished top 10 in MVP voting 4 times, but wasn't named to the all-star team in 3 of those seasons

At least thats my guess.
I never realized what a mediocre hitter Jeter was. Duda and Grandal are better.[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Only two 3rd basemen have more gold gloves than Rolen and they are both in the HOF. IMO Scott Rolen is the best defensive 3rd Basemen all-time. Yes even better than Schmidt and Robinson. Mike Schmidt himself said Rolen was better than him defensively. If not for the injuries I think Rolen's gold glove count would be well into double digits. Oh and he could hit, for average, for power, he could run bases(Very high IQ baserunner). And I loved how he always hustled(unfortunetely it lead to horrible injuries). We always hear about 5 tool players in baseball and in his prime he was one of them.
Yup.
Jeter = Biggio + ridiculous Yankee hype
Jeter was quite clearly better than Biggio. Not sure why the comparison is being made.
Edit: The voter is pretty dumb to only vote for Jeter, but don't underplay his accomplishments.
