re: Is Adrian Beltre the most underrated baseball player ever?

Murray is a great answer he was top 5 in the MVP voting for 5 consecutive seasons, finishing 2nd twice. His whole reputation changes if he wins one of those. Despite having that kind of dominant peak in which he was seen as the best player in baseball, a lot of younger fans view him as a "compiler:".

Guys who do lots of things very well but not one thing great are the guys who get underrated. Mainly because they don't lead the league in anything or don't rack up awards, but they are just as effective or moreso than those who do. It's the Bobby Grich problem. Alan Trammel also has a good case because he was overshadowed by Cal.
