Tulowitzki is a much better bet at being a better player over the next however many years. He's not even in his prime yet and Jeter is obviously nearing the final stages of his.
I don't know if he'll be worth 20M a year in the future and the contract didn't seem necessary yet when the Rockies had him signed for another 3-4 years already but if he keeps putting up seasons like his last two then he'll be just as productive if not more than Jeter was in his prime.

And Troy will be the same age as Jeter is now at the end of the contract getting $20 million in 2019 and 2020. I know you have to factor for inflation so $20 million now wont be $20 million in 10 years but still.
