I don't care what all the red sock fans say they all know it's Derek Jeter.

To answer this question honestly the best shortstop in the american league is Derek Jeter hands down but Tejada and Young have strong contention for the 2nd. If it came down to team leader Jeter would win in a landslide but if it came down to offiense it is Young and Tejeda. Yonng beats out Tejeda for second because he is happy to be on the Rangers. So Jeter running away in first then Micheal Young, the Migel Tejeda.

While Jose Reyes may be the best SS in baseball right now, you specified American league only. Therefore the answer is easily Derek Jeter. In the American league there are few others that come close to the season he is having at that position. Jeter is having one of his best season's over the past five years.

No contest.

andrew, you are the idiot. Hall has over 110 Strikeouts. I would never want that.
Jeter all the way, he's carried the Yankees on his back this whole season.
Go Yanks!
