Definitely not! And anyone who thinks so doesn't know the definition of overrated!overrated- to rate or appraise too highly; overestimate: I think you overrate their political influence.Derek Jeter is indeed overrated.Good for him he has 2,700 something hits, that's nowhere near Pete Rose. Many active players have over 2,700 hits and they dont get paid $20,000,000 every season.You get paid for the work in progress. It does not matter how many hits Pete Rose has. If Derek Jeter ends his career with over 3,500 hits, should they wait and give him the $20 million as a parting gift? Also, the long list of active players with 2,700 or more hits is Derek Jeter, Ken Griffey Jr., Ivan Rodriguez and Omar Vizquel. Derek deserves his money, he will be the only Yankee with 3,000 hits, he is their Captain, he is a winner and has brought nothing but class to the organization. George spent the money wisely on Derek.
