Trevor Plouffe’s hot take on Aaron Judge vs Derek Jeter
14 comments
TL;DR “intangibles”
People said the same thing 20 years ago comparing Jeter to Mattingly, and 40 years ago when comparing Mattingly to Mantle. The hero of your youth is always better than the hero of today, it’s just human nature. In 2045 there will be articles about how Jonathan Loaisiga Jr. is a great player but he’s no Aaron Judge.
Don’t really care what Plouffe thinks. He never played for the Yankees, so him commenting on what type of leader each are seems out of place at best.
Jeter is an all-time legend, and Judge is shaping up to be one too. They are different players. Glad I’ve had the pleasure to watch the careers of both.
This will be the narrative until Judge wins multiple championships.Also who cares what Trevor Plouffe has to say?
Until Judge has a World Series and great playoffs, this will simply be the narrative. Not really sure why the sub as a majority seems in denial about this. By the time Jeter was made Captain, Jeter had 4 World Series and a World Series MVP. “Intangibles” just means playoff success in a roundabout way.
>Now, while many are surprised about his recent MVP win, given his post-season records were nowhere close to some other players,
MVP is voted upon prior to the post season.
Kinda tells you a lot about the rest of their takes, like the one highlighting Jeter as ‘mixed race’
Honestly not that hot of a take
The only debate about Aaron Judge’s legacy should be whether he’s a World Series strike out king or the guy that missed a routine pop up fly because it hit him in the glove. Dude should be shoveling snow, not playing professional baseball.
I watched the clip and what Plouffe was saying Judge is a more dangerous hitter and pitchers would rather face Jeter than Judge because although Jeter was a great contact hitter Judge does more damage. He was very complimentary of Jeter, he said he had a lot of great intangibles and was not as bad as a fielder as everyone tries to make him out to be. He wasnt slighting Jeter at all. He wasnt slighting Judge at all either. He was very complimentary of Judge as a leader as well and how he is a great baseball player. He was asked a question, who do you think is the better player and in his answer he was very complimentary of both.
To be honest thats pretty fair but I would still take Jeter because when it came to the postseason Jeter’s numbers improve while Judge’s drop dramatically.
Edit: this article was written because he had nothing to write and had to write something that would get clicks
Judge is a better player and leader it seems, Jeter is infinitely more clutch
Jeter was more clutch and a better captain, he actually held people accountable
What would you think if Jeter was on a team that didn’t win any World Series??
AI trash article
Judge almost certainly has more natural ability, but Jeter’s mental game far surpasses what Judge has displayed thus far. Both are my captains and I’m looking forward to Judge’s postseason redemption arc
Jeter’s World Series wins were a result of an exceptionally well put together team. I think with an MLB average SS, those Yankee teams still win World Series championships. This team without Judge is lucky to finish .500, and that’s with Cole at his best pitching every 5 games.
