Nice...opportunity for controversy
 Overrated: Ichiro, Reggie Jackson (of course, he was doing most of the rating, so not sure that counts) Underrated: Hank Aaron - like Jackson, trumpeted his own accomplishments, but I think while he was/is obnoxious, he deserves to be up on the same tier with Mays, Mantle, and Williams. Don Mattingly.

underrated - Marichal
Juan Marichal - I gave a close look at his stats yesterday - wow. Had a stretch from 1963-1969 that was outright wicked. An insane SO/BB ratio - like 200+ K's and only 40 walks. Awesome win % with most seasons well over 20 wins. ERA low low 2.'s every season. All star every single year of that stretch (plus a few more). Many, many complete games. Wonderful Shutout totals. No injury problems. Great WHIP's. Was in a lot of posts season games, great stats there also. What more could you want from a pitcher? And his baseball card prices underrated as well.
Poor Marichal - held strong against the likes of Koufax and Gibson who both seemed to have more "public appeal". Marichal was OUTSTANDING.
