Of course if you remove ALL context, the Sox would never trade Nomar for Cabrera, either. If Jeter were...
1. About to be a free agent 2. Making ridiculous contract demands 3. Completely unhappy
...I think the Yankees would be as inclined to ship him outta town as the Sox were Nomar. | TheCow

You're right. They'd just release him outright, move A-Rod back, then trade for the best third baseman not on the market. | Von Maestro

Oh come on!! He got beat by Dotel & hit a little flare that found a hole between the rightfielder & centerfielder.

Actually, no; he isn't. As much as defense has been studied (and compared to offense, it barely has) "everyone" knows that Nomar is the better defensive SS.
Rather than look at this year, bubbles, why not pull up some stats from years where Nomar hasn't been half-crippled? | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
