I know the MVP Award isn’t based on cumulative stats and consistency, but it is difficult to come up with the right formula for Derek Jeter to get the recognition he deserves - although I suppose this year, a trip to the World Series would definitely have helped his case.

Jeter is the anchor for the New York Yankees. He would be the anchor on any team. He would make a difference on any team he played for. And putting up with the heat in New York should count for something – actually it should count for a lot.
