Who do you think the most overrated/underrated players in fantasy baseball were this year?

Question

Now that the season is nearing an end. Who do you think the biggest fantasy surprises and busts were for hitters and pitchers?

My picks:

Surprise pitcher - Cliff Lee (18-2, 2.43 ERA, 1.08 WHIP). He wasn't even drafted in most leagues to begin the season. Last year he was 5-8 with a 6.29 ERA, and 1.52 WHIP and was optioned down to the minor leagues.

Bust pitcher - Josh Beckett (11-9, 4.34 ERA, and 1.23 WHIP). He hasn't been the worst pitcher, but people drafted him expecting him to be an ace this year after winning 20 games last year and striking out almost 200 batters.

Surprise hitter - Carlos Quentin (94 runs, 36 homeruns, 99 RBI's, .290 avg). I doubt anyone drafted him this year, now he's having a top 5 overall season. He only hit .214 last year with 5 homeruns.

Bust hitter - Carl Crawford (69 runs, 8 homeruns, 57 RBI's, 25 stolen bases, .273 avg) Every year he gets a lot of hype, and most people drafted him in the 1st round. Shane Victorino is putting up better numbers and he probably wasn't even drafted in most leagues.

Those are my picks.. Who are yours?

Answer 1

My biggest busts of the year are Paul Konerko of the Chicago White Sox (45 runs 12 HR 45 RBI 2SB .228 avg.) and Jeff Francoeur of the Atlanta Braves (55 runs 10 HR 57 RBI .265 avg.)

(This is not including injury's to players such as David Ortiz and Victor Martinez and Rafael Furcal)

Answer 2

Overrated hitter - Jimmy Rollins

Underrated - Ian kinsler

Overrated pitcher - erik bedard

Underrated - cliff lee

Answer 3

I agree 100%.  Cliff lee was a huge suprise.  

Also Ryan Dempster was a nice suprise too..

Picking up Quentin is helping me win some leagues.
