Ok...BaRb will try to settle this...
A-Rod- AWESOME player!!! would never hesitate to have him on my team. He is going to break every record there is since is still pretty young. He has some playoff trouble but the rest of the Yankees can't seem to pick up the slack. A-Rod is going to hit 40+ homers (including his 500th), drive in 130+ RBIs, and bat .310. Playoffs? Too early to tell.
Now Jeter- No one on the Yankees should be captain more than him. He was there since 95 (late season call up, rookie year was 96) and is an awesome clubhouse leader. He has been clutch time and time again so the hero worship is warrented. Jeter has never really been 'off' during a season, so his numbers have been consistent.
Now every Yankee fan who wants A-Rod's head on a spike should calm down a little right now. He went 2 for 5 yesterday, do he is batting .400, with 1 homer and 2 RBI. And cut him some slack with the missed pop-up. All baseball players would know how hard it would have been to catch that in those conditions at the Stadium yesterday.
Now, on another note, I'm going to game on Thursday night
And, one more thing, Go DEVILS!!!! hockey playoffs > MLB regular season
