Alan, right on! No one is claiming Jeter is shit. What people are claiming is that he isn't as great defensively as people seem to think he is. His main value is offensive (though he does need to reverse the downward sliding trend).

There is nothing that negates the rest of a person's argument than bringing up the payroll. Does it give an advantage? Of course! Is it the reason they win? Of course not!

What do you mean that it give an advantage but isn't the reason they win? Isn't that a bit contradictory? Unless you are saying it isn't the ONLY reason they win... however, a high payroll has great advantages which allows teams to win.
