But how can a pitcher who is better than HOFers but not in the HOF be more overrated than they are?
The All-Overrated Team:
C: Ray Schalk
1B: Steve Garvey
2B: Pete Rose(have to put him somewhere)
SS: Derek Jeter
3B: Brooks Robinson
OF: Roberto Clemente
OF: Lou Brock
OF: Joe Carter
SP: Nolan Ryan
SP: Sandy Koufax
RP: Todd Jones? Struggling to think of a reliever who is thought of as an all-time great who doesn't deserve it, mostly because fulltime reliever is a relatively new invention.

I'm not a big baseball fan... so can someone explain to me, why is Sandy Koufax on that list?

Go look at his stats and you should be able to tell me. Only 2300 IP, and of that, only about 1200 of it was really dominant. Plus, he played in front of a great defense and in a pitcher's stadium suited to his pitching style.
