Default Re: Most Overrated Baseball Players of All-Time

winning percentage is not a stat you need to look at, check the teams he played for when looking at that statistic and the teams he played for were shitty.

you don't do the things he did and pitch for 27 years and not understand pitching. nolan was known around the league for his "guts" and his "balls," there is a reason he had the respect he had.

FeelGoodAboutHood is obviously an idiot that knows nothing about baseball. Wins and losses mean nothing. ERA+ is a much better statistic to look at.

Randy Johnson had the 2nd best ERA in the NL last year at 2.60, yet his record was 16-14. Had he been a Yankees pitcher last year, and pitched that well, he would have had 25 wins.
