Most Overrated Baseball Players of All-Time

[Jack of Arcades]

I think McGwire's going to be seen as the best 1B of this era...

I think Bill James said McGwire's ratio of HR Value/Total Value is one of the highest of all time (he had Dave Kingman as the highest).

I think that's one of the main reasons McGwire is both overrated AND underrated (see: Dead's statement that McGwire should not be in the Hall because he hit .263). When you have one thing that you do amazingly well, you stick out in people's minds. Most people over-focus on the one thing that was done well... and many others over-focus on the things you didn't do well (hit for average, field).
