Some interesting baseball facts

I have a couple points:

1) Derek Jeter is as underrated as he is overrated. I dare anyone to tell me who the most clutch player in baseball is without mentioning Papi or DJ.

2) I totally agree about guys like Todd Helton and Michael Young. There is a reason those teams wont let studs like them go.

3) I still want Scott Rolen on the Yankees.

You know, I cant believe baseball has gone over 2 years now without a no-hitter. I've never seen anything like it in my baseball viewing life. I remember back in 1990 and 1991 when there were I think 6 or 7 each season! I think too much is being made of the whole "Hitters are more dominating" thing. I mean there have been a few examples of guys coming fairly close. I know Chris Young of the Padres has taken 2 into the eight inning, and Tim Hudson pitched a 1-hitter against the Rockies this year with the only hit coming from the opposing pitcher. It will happen sooner or later.
