My last post covered the All Underrated Team now let's take a look at my all overrated team. Most of these guys come from big markets.
C Jason Kendall A's: With a .217 Avg. (.186 at home) and 1 HR and 20 RBIs to his credit, he's either great on defense or he's dating the manager's daughter.
1B Richie Sexson Mariners: Standing 6'8", Big Sexy has a very large strike zone to protect. That might explain the low average (.204) and high strike out numbers in spite of good power stats.
2B Craig Biggio Astros: Alright, this guy is close to 3,000 hits and he's had a heck of a career but 2nd in NL All-Star Voting? Gimme a break. He needs seven more hits for 3,000. Batting at a .237 pace that should happen by September.
SS: J.J Hardy Brewers: Nice player, posting some good stats but he's way ahead of Jimmy Rollins in All-Star voiting. He can thank the Brewer fans for that.
3B Scott Rolen Cardinals: His .265 Avg. is 20 points below is career levels. Can't hit lefty pitching batting only .185. Bad power numbers for a guy his size.
OF Johnny Damon Yankees: How 'about these stats .296 Avg. 9 HR , 38 RBIs pretty good huh? Too bad those stats belong to Curtis Granderson while Damon is at .249, 4 and 23. Put Granderson in NY and he has a plaque and a major shoe deal. Put Damon in Detroit and he's just another guy.
OF J.D Drew Red Sox: Classic underachiever, not even the BoSox uniform has helped him. OK he's a lefty at Fenway, but 6 HR's is weak. Hitting 40 points below his career avg. yet is in the top 10 in All-Star voting. Why??????
OF Andruw Jones Braves: Hitting .199 may put him in the running for all-time worst performance in a contract year. Not a very good negotiating strategy. Should look good in a Royals uniform.
SP Jeff Weaver Mariners: Go figure. The guy gets pulled out of the recycle bin by the Cardinals and he beats the Tigers in the World Series. They must have known he was on borrowed time when they dropped him after the season. Boasting an 8.56 ERA Weaver is not anywhere near the pitcher his brother Jered (not the Subway guy) is.
RP B.J Ryan Blue Jays: My how the mighty have fallen. Once an All-Star fixture, he's now watching General Hospital while on 60 day DL. Hopefully when he gets back he can improve on a 12.46 ERA. Can't do much worse.
