Most Overrated players in MLB.

[cruzg24]

Ok so who do you guys think are the most overrated players in baseball today?

My picks would have to be Alfonso Soriano and Roy Oswalt

[nyG]

Soriano? no way man, he has all the talent and produces. It's just health issues that have gotten in his way.

I think Josh Beckett sucks.

[cruzg24]

Ill agree with Beckett. But Soriano plays no defense and strikes out too much to be a leadoff hitter. Hes not worth the money he is getting, something around 6 years 135 million.

[tomkent53]

I'd be likely to say Barry Zito. He gets a bigtime contract from San Francisco and he's looked like crap.

[cruzg24]

Yea Barry Zito comes to mind, but everyone in the baseball community knows he wasn't worth that money or near the talent level that he once was.

I think Carlos Zambrano is a little overrated as well.

Justin Verlander! That guy hasnt done shit since his big season in 06

Here's another player. Andruw Jones. Especially this years stats.
