Jeter Vs. Scutaro, By The Numbers
I've been hearing it for a few weeks now: "Why don't the Sox swoop in and sign Jeter!".
Let's take a look at last year's numbers:
Jeter 157 games, 663 at-bats, 179 hits, 111 runs, 30 doubles, 3 triples, 10 HRs, 67 RBI, 18 SB, 106 K's, .270 BA, .340 OBP, .370 SLG%, .710 Ops, 6 errors in 553 chances for a .989 Fld percentage and a Gold Glove...
Scutaro 150 games, 632 at-bats, 174 hits, 92 runs, 38 doubles, 0 triples, 11 HRs, 56 RBI, 5 SB, 71 K's, .275 BA, .333 OBP, .388 Slg%, .721 OPS, 579 chances(inc 16 at 2b), 20 errors for a .969 Fld percentage....
The biggest difference? Jeter made 22.6-million dollars while Scutaro made 5.5-million.
Jeter will be 37 next season, Scutaro 35.
