Answer 7

If you check their stats this year Reyes beats him in almost every category.

Answer 8

Two different players.

Jeter hits for average and on base percentage while Reyes tries to swing for the fences and is a threatening base stealer. Obviously Reyes hasn't hit as many home runs as he hoped and soon should attempt to control the ball with placement like Jeter instead of barreling at it.

Defensively, Jeter is one of the greatest to ever play the position. Reyes has the potential to be great, but we cannot compare the stature of Jeter to the young Reyes. Jeter is also the captain of the Yankees and is known for his outsanding character.

We're trying to compare a definite Hall of Famer and a young SS that will most likely be a HOF. Two different players.
