Overrated/Underrated Players

[Zombeels]

Here we can post players who we think are over or under rated in the game.

Nelson Cruz is overrated. There is no reason for him to have power in the high 90's.

Heh, the same could be said for so many players, 2K way overrates these guys every year. I use a generic roster where players' power numbers are in the 70s tops. Game plays so much more like real baseball with lower offensive ratings, both power and contact.

Could it be the 1-14 HR Ratio (29/475 Regular Season, 8/62 Post Season )?

Bautista is 1-12, Granderson 1-14.3, Fielder 1-15, Kemp 1-15.4, etc.

Zombeels - you can probably questions his plate discipline and contact rate being too high, but his power overrated?? That is just silly.

Andrew McCutchen got screwed with his hitting ratings. Neil Walker should have slightly higher power than he has as well.

If you want to mention overrated how about adam dunn?

ive seen some odd ratings but they aren't on teams i follow too much. i'd have to say though i think chase utley is over-rated, even though he was hurt all last year he's out this year and probably wont ever be that 2B who got all that hype when he was first coming up. i'd say power around 68-70 is accurate.. if he played 162 he would've hit for 16-17 hr probably. the contact is what seems a little high too me. but can't really tell until he "heals" this time around and see what's gonna happen. unfortunately idk of someone losing all the cartilage in their knees and have it magically come back after being in the majors quite a few years.

underrated i'd have to say jimmy rollins. now i know his plate discipline is poopoo, and he swings for power when leading off instead of contact. but even doing those things he batted close to .270 and 16 hr in 142 games. another 20 games could've gotten him to 19 most likely. those numbers usually get players closer to the low/mid 70's range but all his batting numbers are in the 60's
