re: Your 5 most overrated and underrated MLB players

I know the numbers are against me and chicks dig the long ball but I prefer to watch the contact style. True three outcome baseball is, IMO, boring as shite relative to balls in play.

I agree it's boring, but you need a mix of guys on the team to succeed.

You need your OBP guys at the top of you order and you need some contact guys around the 5-6 hole in case 3-4 don't get the job done of driving them in. Sorry, but a 2 out walk with a runner on 3rd does jack shite when the next guy gets out.

THe astros had nothing but three true outcome players (aside from Altuve). They're much better this year now that they've gotten away from that.

I see the Cubs struggling at the plate in the future along with the Jays too because they have too many K lovers in their lineup.

Rizzo based on his last 3 years. And last year should have been MVP runner up. He finished 4th

He just kinda gets taken for granted.

If anything Trout is underrated, because people take what he does fro granted and still want to ask who is better he or Harper. He has been the best player in the league by a mile since he hit the scene.

Judge has been outstanding this year way better than anyone expected, so how exactly is he overrated?

Bryant and Rizzo may be a hair overrated, but definitely not the most overrated.

I also don't think Khris Davis, Santana, or Paxton or underrated.

Here is my list

Overrated

Kyle Schwarber
Giancarlo Stanton
Adam Jones
Eric Hosmer

Underrated

Brett Gardner
Charlie Blackmon
Dallas Keuchel
Freddie Freeman

if Marwin Gonzales continues doing what he is doing he needs to be on every underrated list.

Switch hitter, plays 7 positions, runs well, fields well, hits well (this year), has power. It's pretty amazing.

are you only looking at 2017 stats?
