Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, you have to remember Jeter is the Steinbrenner family pet on the team, and they do have the money as well as the necessary pull to keep his name out of public view if he is or was on the list.
And your right, 3000 hits does open the door at the HOF, but their are other players who haven't been put in the HOF, that have had better stats than Jeter through out their careers.
Clearly though, you have to agree, without the 3000 hit milestone, Jeter has done nothing worthy of being recognized for the HOF
