because if a ball's right to him, he makes the play; he makes the easy plays look hard. And the plays he doesn't get, it looks like he almost got them.
The rub against Jeter is that he's pretty surehanded, but he just doesn't get to balls that other players get to. He doesn't bobble balls, he doesn't make bad throughs, he goes all out and that's great. But he's a step slower than the vast majority of all other shortstops in baseball.
