Joel Sherman: Kerry the most overrated player in the MLB

[RammyFanny]

1. Kerry Wood, Cubs - The closest thing we have to Sidd Finch: A legend no one sees pitch. Has there ever been more written and anticipated about a player who hardly plays? Yes, he is good when he pitches, but he has pitched 110 innings in the past three years or 1 2/3 innings fewer than Carl Pavano.

 

In front of Zito, Willis, Rowand, and Bay.

Not like he almost single handedly won the Cubs first playoff series in a million years or anything.

[BCVM22]

Sham.

[rawaction]

If he's good when he pitches, how is he overrated? Is he supposed to be good when he's not pitching too?

[Andy]

Ridiculous. Who exactly 'overrates' him, anyway? The guy gets way more crap than he deserves for his injuries and usually gets unfairly lumped in with Prior.

 

Kerry, please get like 50 saves with an ERA below 2.50 and shut this guy up.

Well, yeah, that too.

[CuseCubFan69]

Wood is a talented pitcher who has had injury problems. Who really cares what this Sherman guy wrote, honestly?

[Post Count Padder]

Huh

[rocket]

i don't think anyone but cubs fans really think about him anymore.

[imb]

How do I get people to read this column? I know! I'll put a player from a team with a huge fanbase at No. 1!

[OleMissCub]

At least he didn't put TLR in the top 5 managers.

Ummm, this Sherman guy is a [expletive] idiot.

I was going to read this article until I saw that the link was to Fox Sports. I'm studying; I don't need something to make me dumber.

Jason Bay's overrated? By who? He did have a down year last year, but his 05 and 06 seasons were pretty good.

+1 You can't play for the Pirates and overrated.

What a goob.

 

5 Best OVERALL players:

 

4. Hanley Ramirez: His defense is shaky. . . .

 

 

Last time I checked, being solid on defense was a big part of being and OVERALL great player.

Not when you're Hanley Ramirez at the plate. Albert Pujols isn't especially fast, he's still one of the best overall players in baseball.

3. Ichiro Suzuki, Mariners - An AL executive: "There is no opposing player you want to see less in a ninth-inning tie in the following situations: Leading off an inning"

Umm...I'd rather see him than Ortiz, ARod, Pujols, and quite a few other hitters.

That was probably MacPhail

Is that so much to ask?

[big_shooter17]

Ummm, this Sherman guy is a ---SOAPDROPPING--- idiot.

 

Joel Sherman's soap dropping skills are underrated from what i gather. In fact, he made it into the top 5 on that list.

 

Seriously, this destroys the guy's credibility. Kerry has been the one that has been dumped on more than the others on that list.

Prior gets unfairly lumped in with Prior.

Prior gets lumped in with himself?
