Porter, you make a good case. And yes, I would have picked someone else. I'm just trying to say it's really not all that insane. I'm not arguing Jeter has the best range of anyone in the league. He did 6 years ago, but not now. I'm arguing that he's got average range and his lack of errors more than makes up for it.
My thinking is, though, that I'd rather have my SS miss a few to his left or right than get to everything but throw half of them away. One lets the guys get to 1st occasionally more, the other puts them on 2nd.
