Who cares what he f*cking hits?  He'll play a great CF and we can bat him 9th. 

Some of you are out of your minds, you want f*cking superstars 1-9 in the order!  Get real.

YOUR ABSOLUTELY f*cking KIDDING ME!??!?! YOU"D TAKE MIKE CAMERON!!!!! I thought this was a joke. He strikes out 150 times. He doesn't hit for average. He'd kill any rallies.

I don't want superstars, but I want good players. Cameron is a great fielder and a horrible hitter. Add to that, he's only good for power and Yankee Stadium isn't good for right-handed hitters, his power even goes down.

Posada, Tino, Womack, Bernie, and Giambi are 5 players in our current starting lineup that are not superstars. I wish people would stop acting like we have a field full of superstars, because we don't.

you know i use to the post the same sh*t on msg, ask anybody, i didn't want cameron for nothing but i'll tell you something he isn't that bad! yes he hits for a low average but his homerun and rbi production is pretty good and he's one of the top 3 defensive CF's in the game, cam is a good player!!! :peace:

I've always believed in clutchness, but I'm starting to question it.

1. If a guy focusses more or "buckles down" in the big situation, then why doesn't he do that more often? Doesn't that mean that the guy would be half-assing it other times? If all it takes is focus to shine, then you should play better than you do.

2. A lot of the time, averages work themselves out. Brett Favre, who people regard as super-clutch, has thrown 34 TDs and 26 INTs in his playoff career.
Jeter's post season batting average is about the same as his regular season average (little lower). There's hotstreaks and slumps in the regular season, same for the playoffs.

3. People seem to highlight the positive. People who we say are clutch, they fail more times than they succeed in the big spot. Jordan has said that he's missed more big shots than he's made. What did Jeter hit in the 2001 and 2003 World Series?

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the guy. He's my second favorite player (I'm still gagging on Bernie's schlong) but I do think that he's overrated. No way is he the best player in the game.

I wouldn't call Jeter a superstar. He's paid like one, but his numbers don't indicate it (la-la-la, intangibles). He's more of a superstar because his name is big. I don't think Matsui is a superstar either. He's an All Star and plays like it, but he's not elite.

I agree with you Strider, but I didn't want to get any more in depth.
