Re: Most Overrated Baseball Players of All-Time
[ QUOTE ]
Saw someone list Cal Ripken as one of the most important players of all-time, which was interesting, since I've always viewed him as someone whose consistency allowed him to be viewed as being much better than he actually was. Anyway, either he or Nolan Ryan are No. 1 on my list, with Yaz tagging along closely behind. Thoughts on others? [/ QUOTE ]If you compare him to his contemporaries at SS you won't think this anymore. He revolutionized the SS position and now its a much more offensive position...that shouldn't be held against him though.

[/ QUOTE ] Okay, just to use a little logic here : You think someone who is A) Not in the HOF and B) Better than numerois HOF players of the same position Is one of the most overrated players of all time? For Bert Blyleven to be the most overrated player of all time he would have had to be a 1st balloter who is thought of as a Top 5 pitcher of all time.

Re: Most Overrated Baseball Players of All-Time
I will not point by point argue with you on this.
I think the people I mentioned do NOT belong in the Hall, and the fact they are being considered makes me mad. I will not rip on those in the Hall already, because that's sacred ground. Once you are in, you are in forever. But I sure as hell will fire away at those who aren't in yet. This may sound stupid, but it's what I believe.

Re: Most Overrated Baseball Players of All-Time
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.
