Talk about the Underrated players in the league, maybe post their stats along with your posts, so we can get to know about this player, and give him the credit he deserves.

CHONE FIGGINS
  • Speedy
  • Hitting .300
  • Good Leadoff Hitter
  • Can play a lot of positions in the field

Anyone agree he's underrated? He's having one of his best years I'd say.

If you think Hawpe is underrated, then how about Matt Kemp?

He's been probably the best CF in baseball this season yet gets absolutely no love at all.

Andre Ethier is damn underrated too.

Matsui's having a nice season. I guess he can be considered underrated, but everyone knows who he is and he's had success in the past.

Hughes isnt underrated. Who hasnt heard "he's the best setup man"?

I was laughing at him putting Gardner a .275 hitter and that other guy who has an ERA over 4 as a reliever

if we're all trying to sell our all of our favorite teams, I'll do the same lol.

Billy Butler is a beast. If he was on a good team he'd have 80 RBI's if not more. He always comes up with noone on or like someone at 1st. Plus he's like .330 since all-star break

Yes guys, no bias, but I am saying this

Barry Zito

He's really been back on track and is trying to show that he is worth that huge contract. He hasn't pitched bad this month. His ERA is dropping after every start. His W-L record is misleading because he's had 8 starts with 0 runs of support. He's showing he's still a quality pitcher as of late

Look at that if you're gonna argue against me

i'll agree with pm7, the guy gets no run support or else his win count would be a lot higher, last night is a good example

Aceves has been lights out in the pen. His inflated ERA along with Hughes is the result of a few off starts, both have been untouchable in the pen. I know most of you are mad because your teams can't compare to us, we have players that go under the radar. The jealousy and ignorance from some of you is embarrasing.

Anyone going to give Chone Figgins credit? lol. Also, Adam Lind, and Aaron Hill are pretty underrated for what they've done this season.

I think Hill is slowly starting to get the credit he deserves, Lind is very underrated
