Jimmy Rollins and Derek Jeter are team leaders.
Both are shortstops.
Both are MVPs.
Which one would you rather have?
Jimmy Rollins Pros
Hits for average (about .280-.320)
Hits for power (about 30-40 homers a season)
Switch-hitter
Steals bases (35-50 a year)
Gold Glove-caliber shortstop
Very low contract
Jimmy Rollins Cons
Low OBP for leadoff hitter
Derek Jeter Pros
Hits for high average (.300-.320 a year)
Plays balls out every night
Works pitchers during every at-bat
Derek Jeter Cons
Very limited range for a shortstop
Hits for very little power
Does not steal bases often
Plays balls out every night
Huge contract
My choice: Jimmy Rollins
