Forget about Larkin's history with injuries...base your answer purely on talent and impact on a game...
Who was better in their prime?
Barry Larkin or Derek Jeter

Re: Better In Their Prime - Larkin or Jeter?
I would say Jeter had the single best season out of the two in 1999, but that really doesn't mean much as one season doesn't tell you much.
I would say on rate basis throughout their prime Larkin was better, but that doesn't really mean much as Jeter always played more.
So whatever that means to you.

I'm pretty much with bigboy on this one. I will say Larkin's 96 season was very close to Jeter's 99 year tho.

Basketball is driven by three principles:
1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Prime only, I'll go with Larkin by a whisker. I think that, when both are at their best, Larkin's a lot better with the glove and close enough with the bat to give him the edge.
Career, it's Jeter by a mile.

Larkin is 10x the fielder Jeter is. And his bat wasn't far off either. Larkin easy.

Nice to see Larkin get inducted
In his prime, I think he was slightly better than Jeter

They both have their own advantages, everyone is very excellent, we have a very important influence, but I prefer Larkin.More discussion are welcome to look at Abercrombie and Fitch Sale

Jeter was clutch though.
Jeter seems to play better when the pressure is on.
Ill take Jeter
