You Could Look It Up: V For Vendetta

This week's installment of YCLIU is a follow-up to the Derek Jeter-inspired piece on aging shortstops that ran in this space on March 31. This time around, we doff the historian's cap for a look at the problem of evaluating shortstop defense. For those of us in New York, this is an evergreen topic, because Jeter is a subject of a tug of war between those who want to celebrate him as a future Hall of Famer, albeit one with flaws, and those who want to canonize him, refusing to admit the possibility of weakness in any phase of his game.
