I think Jeter's range is limited to spectacular plays and easy plays. I think he is a great shortstop, because of his passion for the game, and unfortunatly his passion exceeds his ability in the field. Yes, he can throw and make some spectacular plays; he is very nimble and agile, and can make those nice leaping turning throws, and can make runs toward home, pick up a ball and chuck it real quick, and he is willing to go head first towards the stands so he can outrun that Red Sox foul ball. It's simple. There are plays that Jeter makes, and then there are plays which everyone else can make. He can field, but he's not the best at fielding.
