As to Jeter's defense, I think that one factor that skews his stats is that he's spent his career playing with the best defenders at third.

One of the things that comes out is that third basemen with Jeter play MUCH more towards second than they do with other SS's. Interestingly enough 3B with Jeter get many more assists/game than they do with his backups.
It shows that his backups (who no one has confused as good defensive SS) are better defensively than Jeter.
