Best player

I would have to say A- Rod. A- Rod has already been MVP and even had 35 hrs, 120+ RBI last year, which was considered BAD. I think Jeter is Mr. Yankee so every good thing he does is magnified while A- Rod is not looked at as highly. However, A- Rod's numbers are always better than Jeter and though he is having his defensive struggles, don't forget he was a Golden Glove shortstop.

numbers don't tell the whole story, Jeter makes the team go, best player, no question

Hands down the best player on the Yankeees is Derek Jeter!

A-Rod is definitely the best player today. He hit a homerun at the 9th inning, and Yankees beat Red Sox 6-5, won the second victory of this serious games.

Guys, guys, let's be reasonable here. The best player on the New York Yankees talent-wise, offense-wise, is Alex Rodriguez by far. He is a truly rare talent that nobody can match not only just on the Yankees, but in all of baseball. He will surely break a ton of records in baseball, including Barry Bonds' "home run" record. But he's also better at defense than any other Yankee , yes, including Derek Jeter. However, in terms of overall value, I think Jeter is the most important player on the Yankees. He provides leadership and steady offense and defense, as well as that mentality to always win. Jeter is the poster boy for MLB, and as well should be. (He also got ripped off on last year's MVP voting- he should've been the MVP). But best player, it's hard to argue with Alex Rodriguez. He's not the most important player on the Yankees, but their best player.

I think the best Yankees player is Jorge Posada. He deserves some recognition since Jeter & A-Rod get so much love.

It has to be Jeter, he is the best there is. 2001 ALDS.

this is a really tough descion for me. I think that jeter is awesome , great gives it his best each and everytime, but even though he is now no longer a yankee id have to say that sheffield is the best.

Every year the Yanks bring in expensive talent and every year the home grown Jeter is the best.

I have to agree with pretty much everybody in here. Jeter is definitely the best player on the Yankees. He's consistent and does whatever he can to help the team.

Playing today, Derek Jeter, no doubt about it!

Like everyone else said, Derek Jeter is the best Yankee. But I think the person who has the most potential is Robinson Cano. He is a great player and will help us win championships in the future.

yes, i think.

One name, Derek Jeter. Nobody plays short stop better than Derek. He is the epitome of baseball.

derek jeter he's most consistent player they've had in a long time. comes to play day in and day out. bats around 300 every year and has awesome defensive skills.

Jeter is the man at pretty much everything but i also Joba Chamberlin, he is in the farm system but looks very promising

The best position player is definitly Jeter, but the best pitcher in the rotation with the most potential is Chien-Ming Wang and the best prospect is Phil Hughes

Jeter will always be the best player.
