Question

Who is the most overated and most underated players in the MLB??

Answer 1

overrated: Carlos Zambrano, Derek Jeter, Edison Volquez

underrated: CC Sabathia, he gets attention but he has brought so much confidence to the entire brewers team, its amazing, he doesnt recieve enough credit.  Kyle Lohse, 12-2 and he doesnt get into the allstar game, unbelievable.  Yadier Molina, best defensive catcher in the majors, hitting well over .300, and is the hardest player to strike out in the majors.

Answer 2

I agree with the guy who says Jeter is not overrated.

Look at his stats! The guy has BETTER numbers than Pete Rose at this stage in his carreer. More hits. Higher average. Higher slugging. Higher on base. More runs. Much more home runs. In fewer games at a younger age.

Because of the number of people who claim that he is overrated, I'll but Jeter as the most UNDERRATED player in the game today.

Answer 3

The most funny thing to me is wenever sombody askes a common question like this one

And almost all the time who comes up Derek jeter

Das jus hillarious to me becuz derek jeter is not overated matter fact he is underated

its cuz he is not flashy and intstead of hitting home runs he hits singles

and he is not a hall of famer because he plays for the yankees if u look at his stats he is having a bad year this yea but year in year out he is near the top of batting average and one base percentage for shortstops and yearley has 200+ hits jeter is not overated

i think alot of players on the red sox are overated and theyre stats are inflated becuz of the green monster like lowell or ortiz but dey are just playing to theyre advantages

Answer 15

Over rated by far with no doubt is Fukudome. If not for The Japanese and all the voting they had done, this guy surely would not, and should not have started in All Star game. His numbers at best are mediocre.

Under rated, this season anyway, I would say Carlos Lee. If not for the sad Astros, he would be recognized more so for what he is doing and has been doing. Berkman usually gets most of the respect, and perhaps rightfully so, but Lee has been a major factor to the team. Not his fault his team cant pitch.

Answer 16

Most Overrated: Barry Bonds, he takes steroids and still is the # 1 story in the MLB.

Most Underated- Nate McLouth, I might be biased as a Pirates fan but he has power, speed, and can come up big in key situations
