"He's overrated!" When discussing a specific athlete, you hear that phrase said far too often at the water cooler, bar, etc. But what does that person know, right? Anyway,Sports Illustrated recently went out and conducted a survey where they asked 228 MLB players who they thought was the most overrated guy in the league. Do you agree with the list?
1. Alex Rodriguez (16.8%)
2. Derek Jeter (9.2%)
3. Jayson Werth (6.0%)
4. Nick Swisher (5.4%)
5. Albert Pujols (4.7%)
6. Ichiro Suzuki (3.4%)
7. Hanley Ramirez (2.5%)
8. Jason Heyward (2.3%)
9. David Wright (2.1%)
10. Coco Crisp (1.8%)
At this point, A-Rod has to be used to all the loathing he receives from those in the league to the people in the stands. But is it the permanent shadow of the $275 million contract play a vital part in how people assess his talent? Or does his current line of a .265 average with 13 homers and 37 RBIs speak volumes already?
