does that mean Gwynn is similarly overrated too?

also, Jeter has a higher career WAR than Reggie Jackson, Ernie Banks, Al Simmons, Dave Winfield, Yogi Berra, Harmon Killebrew, Willie Stargell, Eddie Murray, Willie McCovey etc. So if you think WAR offers a reasonable point of comparison, then Jeter isn't really overrated. Whitaker is certainly underrated though.
