Does Derek Jeter get disadvantaged by playing in New York. Should he have been a closer runner up for MVP
No, he doesn't, and no, he shouldn't have. If anything, he gets more advantage by playing in New York. Joe Mauer deserved it easily..a CATCHER who hovered around .400? That's practically unheard of..the guy basically carried the Twins on his back. He's a great player, and a very humble person. The real question is does Jeter become overshadowed by playing alongside of A-Rod and M.Teixeira..which, yes, he does. :/
