Of my lifetime as a fan, it's a tie between Thurman Munson (he died when I was only 4 though) and Don Mattingly. Of the most recent years it was Paul O.Neil, he was a true warrior (as George like to say) and the soul & fire of those championship teams. Of the current roster, you have to give proper respect to Jeter for what he does every day, however, I stick by what I say-Alex Rodriguez is the most talented position player I have ever watched. Granted, we haven't seen Seatlle era Arod on a consistent basis (except for the last couple weeks), but he is still the best player in baseball, and as a Yankee fan, we should all be happy he is on our side, and hope that he is not chased away from our beloved team because of the likes of Mike & the Mad Dog and all the Baseball Tonight-like talking head idiots.
P.S. Without Rivera, we're looking at probably only one championship, maybe two if they got lucky; and forget about the two they got to & lost-he's the MVP after 1998 on. That should count for something.

I'm a Red Sox fan and hate the Yankees, but you do have one guy I really like. Melky Cabrera, he'd start on almost any other team in baseball. He plays hard and has a great understanding of the game. He needs to get traded somewhere where he will get a chance to play everyday and show off his talent instead of playing once a week.

Jeter, hand s down. He will have up to 175 hits each year for the next 4 years and reach near 3000 hits. After that, if healthy, he'll move to 3rd base or left field and get another 5 years and 500 or More hits a year. Hall of Famer for sure, first ballot!

It WAS Bernie. A class act, and underrated. That Nazi Steinbrener couldn't offer him a decent contract. Currently... i'll go with Jorgey Posada... intense, solid catcher, and an overall clutch and underrated player. I also loved Pauly O'neill... "a warrior for a dynasty"-- .... sorry i couldn't pick one, i love all my Yankees.

I'd have to say Posada...he is truly overlooked! He is in there everyday, and at the end of the season he has his 28HR and 90RBI. He handles the staff well and takes a beating behind the plate and still gets it done with the stick!
