SteVo+ 3,702 Posted July 18, 2011 Milwaukee Brewers Overrated: Zack Greinke. Still waiting for him to make Milwaukee look good for trading for him. Underrated: Prince Fielder. May seem an odd pick, but I can't tell you how many people have told me Prince is just a fatass with a lot of power (like a Ryan Howard or Carlos Pena type), when in fact he's way more than that. As long as we're doing teams and Trident is online, let's roll with Atlanta Braves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted May 14, 2012 Underrated: Carlos Beltran Overrated: Matt Holliday Boston Red Sox Matt Holliday is the easy way out of that one >_> Anyway..I feel like the Red Sox rotation as a whole has been pretty overrated for quite a few years. When you have "aces" like Lester and Lackey... Oh Lord. But Youk is pretty overrated too... Says the guy who had him for half the fantasy season last year. Underrated... Maybe a bit unorthodox because he is really popular and well known player, but... Big Papi. Couple years ago, he started the year with that MASSIVE slump and everyone was calling it a career, and were hanging up the cleats for him. Here we are and he's still hitting the ball really well after a really really good 2011. Let's go with the... Diamond Backs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AL_Royalty 489 Posted May 15, 2012 Overrated: Zack Greinke. Still waiting for him to make Milwaukee look good for trading for him. Underrated: Prince Fielder. May seem an odd pick, but I can't tell you how many people have told me Prince is just a fatass with a lot of power (like a Ryan Howard or Carlos Pena type), when in fact he's way more than that. As long as we're doing teams and Trident is online, let's roll with Atlanta Braves. That's the second time I've seen Zack's name come up. I can't agree with it. He hasn't lost a game at home since he got to Milwaukee, he led the national league in strikeouts per 9 innings last season, he's kept a sub-4 era in the American league, which isn't lights out, but it's adequate with everything else he brings to the table... I don't know. I just think the guy is rated about right. No one is really mentioning him in the same breathe as Verlander or Strasburg or guys like that, but he's a legit ace IMO.

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted May 26, 2012 The division is awful so I don't really know if there's an overrated team... I guess the Brewers.

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted May 26, 2012 AL West A little tricky since there's only four teams to choose from, so I'll say... Overrated: Athletics. I don't think any team is vastly overrated by the media or fans, but the A's are not as good as their near-.500 record indicates. Underrated: Rangers. Just for the fact that we sometimes forget just how fucking good they are. Next category: lead-off hitters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piggly Wiggly 960 Posted May 26, 2012 Overrated: Athletics. I don't think any team is vastly overrated by the media or fans, but the A's are not as good as their near-.500 record indicates. I'm pretty sure everyone realizes that the A's are pretty dog shit despite their record. Even most A's fans know that they they have no shot in hell at grabbing a wild card. Somewhat overachieving? Yes. Overrated? Absolutely not. Are they even in the top 20 in any power rankings? How 'bout the Angels with their $250 million dollar man Pujols? Underrated: Rangers. Just for the fact that we sometimes forget just how fucking good they are. Overwhelming favorites to win the ALCS? Underrated, for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah he is. He's been getting ridiculous run support in his career. His strikeouts are up but he's giving up way too many hits and homeruns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
housemd 338 Posted May 28, 2012 Yeah he is. He's been getting ridiculous run support in his career. His strikeouts are up but he's giving up way too many hits and homeruns. You are right about the hits but he also has 1 K per inning and gives up 3.something runs per game..He doesn't need a ridiculous run support to win games and he's not often getting one..
