Garrett Anderson

Carlos Lee

[Little Slide Rooter]

Derrek Lee. He did it to himself though. Everyone was happy with him being a .280 30 HR type of guy, and then he had to go and have himself a Pujolsesque 2005, and all of the sudden the fans expect it every season.

Untrue and you know it.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

Ozzie Smith

 

Omar Vizquel wins.

Oyster Burns gets my vote.

[Alfonso Soriano]

I guess you could say Alex Gordon is pretty overrated.

He's a rookie.

[CubFanPhilly]

Ozzie Smith

 

Omar Vizquel wins.

 

 

Vizquel is definitely overrated.

 

But Ozzie and Vizquel have about the same career OPS+ (87/84). Omar had more hits, more HRs, and he won't sniff the HOF. The defense alone isn't enough to justify the difference.

I love the word filter.

So is Ryan Braun, Hunter Pence, Dustin Pedrioa, Troy Tuluotski and you see them playing well.

Really? Do people rate Snow as much more than a poor man's Mark Grace?

Vizquel will get more votes than you think. And say what you want about BP's fielding, but we've got a difference of 30 WARP here.

I suspect Ozzie is underrated on NSBB. :wink:

 

Ozzie was a better hitter and the greatest defensive SS of all-time while Vizquel's gold gloves are a joke. Vizquel played in an era when offense was expected from a SS (ARod, Garciaparra, Jeter) while Ozzie didn't. I think you'll be surprised how much support Vizquel's HOF candidacy receives.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I'll be the one to shoot the fish in the barrel: Jeter.

 

Another one, Torii Hunter.
