To compare 2007 Jeter to 2007 Biggio would not be fair as Biggio is now 41. Look at Biggio at 32, the same age as Jeter last year. That would be th 1998 season. Jeter does not have a season that remotely compares to what Biggio did that year. Biggio from 1994 to 1999 (before the kneww injury) is every bit as good an offensive player as Jeter and a much better defender. Jeter is now at the age where Biggio hurt his knee and was never the same. For that reason Jeter may eventaully have better career stats, but to say that Jeter was a much better player is ridiculous. When Jeter has a 50doubles/50 stolen base season or gets to 650 doubles/3000 hits/1800 runs scored then you have a debate as to better careers.
