Those are the at bats that win you games..Love this guy
Nothing wrong with being better than Jeter in some aspects of the game. Didi has more power than Jeter could ever dream about. I'm not sure Didi isn't a better all around hitter than Jeter.
Yanks pulled Didi right out of their ass. It's amazing how good this guy is.

Hey, we gave up Shane Greene!
We seem to be using a 6 man rotation with 3 righties (Sevy, Masa and Gray) and 3 lefties (CC, Monty and Garcia). If we get past the wild card and are in a real playoff series, and cut down to 4, who would they be?
lasting 20 years and averaging 204 hits per 162 games. And, he had some a lifetime BA of .310 with 7 seasons over .320. And, as Didi is doing for the first time in his career, Jeter always seemed to make the important plays--for over 15 years. So, let's not go overboard.
Didi does have more power, more range as a SS than the later years Jeter, and possibly a better arm. And what a sweet stroke he has right now. Very impressive, but Jeter was so great for so long. Yes, Didi is probably better than Jeter was in most of his last 6 years, but those were ages 36-40, and he still managed to get 216 hits at age 38--astonishing.
But yes, Didi was a spectacular addition, and he has already moved Gleyber over to third base for the foreseeable future.
Its also fun to remember that Steinbrenner wanted to trade Mariano for a SS because he didn't think Jeter ws ready. One of the great moves by the late Gene Michael was preventing that--consider the Yankees without both of them.
Oversized athletes don't peak at age 25. I loved the split-screen on today's TV game where they compared Judge's swing and Bird's. Bird's is clearly a much more mature swing, using his lower half properly. Judge just muscles the ball, with his preternatural strength. Can you imagine what Judge would be like if he could learn to engage his lower half? Better plate coverage, fewer strikeouts, and exceeding 600 feet.

There are a lot of good SS currently. Top 5 in the AL for sure but I don't follow the NL closely enough to opine on all of MLB.
Amazingly, perhaps not. This is an amazing time for the SS position in MLB.

Got to be Sevy, Gray, Masa, and CC, no?
It was Tyree.
He just did it again...

and Didi looks like he is right up there ; moving up the ranks quietly quickly and headed to the front of the pack

24th HR for Didi. That actually matches Jeter's career high in a season (24 in 1999)
