Quite Possibly The FUNNIEST Tweet Ever

I am not sure why he wanted to throw this out there but... um okay: "@SI_JonHeyman folks fixated on jeters uzr and .ba in '10 should consider his value goes beyond numbers. #franchise, #brand, #starpower"

Heyman has always been a Yankee lover

and apparently a Jeter lover as well

I don't know if it is the funniest Tweet, but surely the most bereft of logic

Most of Jeter's career, including his current contract

are built around the illusion that he’s worth more than his numbers suggest…in fact, the very insistence that that is true helps lend to the belief. Sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Derek Jeter becomes worth more than his numbers because we insist that there must be a reason the Yankees must pay him as much as they do, ergo the reason for him being worth so much is made evident.

Confusing? Yeah, sorry.

NOT FUNNY

How is that tweet supposed to be funny? That position has been talked about for the past several months….yet now it’s funny? Okay….

He Does have Star power….he’s one of the marketable superstars in the game….there is some value there, like how Ichiro has value or Vlad Guerrero had value for the Angels. His marketable equity is greater than the whole A’s team combined. Put that into your computer advanced stats people.

Nonetheless, 3 yrs 45 MIL is enough.

Jeter's Marketing Equity

Totally tied up in being a Yankee. If he signs with the Mets and they do not win it all this year his marketing equity disappears. If the Yankees finish in 3rd place every year of his new deal he loses no marketing equity due to loyalty and past accomplishments.

They had him more then he had them.

by Rev Halofan on Dec 4, 2010 7:10 PM PST up reply actions

The only difference is

Vlad and Ichiro both added superstar stats in addition to their franchise marketability.

Jeter is a good shortstop, but his value has always been overstated due to the fact he plays for the yankees. But hey, at least he has #brand!

i don't think he makes the yankees that much, or much better

eric karabell talked about this recently on the baseball today podcast. the yankees do a deal because they should, but they really don’t win less games without him. defensively, they could be much better.

Jeter would be an after thought

Of Course

but he doesn’t. He plays for the New York Yankees..the marquee team is baseball.
A lot of players play for the Yankees, that doesn’t make them SuperStars. Jeter has/had a lot of things going for him: He speaks English, he’s not ugly, he’s media friendly, charismatic, he doesn’t have HGH allegations (unlike ARod). How many MORE people tune into a Yankee game to cheer or jeer them becuase he’s on the team? Who knows. That really is what this whole “marketing equity” is about for the Yankees. Will some casual fans not watch a Yankee game if he’s not there? Probably some…but who knows how many.

The funny thing is, if Jeter's production continues the way it was heading last year

then this new contract is essentially every bit as bad as the GMJ contract in some senses. The only difference being the club giving it out is allowed to be as reckless and stupid as they want.
