If he hadn't gotten suspended, he'd probably have ended up with more games at 3B than SS. But it looks like he's basically a DH from here on out. But he won 2 MVPs at SS, played 200 more games there than Ernie Banks (who gets remembered as a SS). I think the combination of his playing prime and the fact he will likely end up with more games at SS than 3B will play that out.

Probably would have helped had he hit 2 more HR at the position as he currently as 344 HR and Cal has the all-time record with 345. On a related note, he's only 32 home runs behind Graig Nettles for the all-time AL 3B mark.

My ultimate hope is that somehow history reflects on him deferring to Jeter at SS as a selfless act and the entire narrative on that era is flipped in 20 years. Seems like a long shot.
