Add to that he would have been the greatest shortstop in history had he not moved over, and it creates even more separation from the rest of the pack.Arod is on a completely different level of greatness than Jeter and Rivera.
Not for the playoffs which is what a lot of the major complaints about him have been about besides his one great year in 2009 and anytime against the Twins (04 and 09).

Even ESPN had a blog about it trying to disprove him as a playoff choker and could only do it by "cheating" to get his numbers to match Jeter's playoff numbers. Compared A-Rod's shorter playoff career vs Jeter's longer one and only looked at it according to pure stats and ignored actual impact.
