Overrated:Ozzie Smith
Underrated:Omar Vizquel Both are easily the best defensive players at the SS position of their generations.. And their bats were very similar...The main difference being that in Omar's generation, offense took priority over defense and the SS position became flooded with 3rd Basemen(partially due to the amount of focus put on strikeout pitchers).. Luckily, I think we're starting to see the defensive SS's make a comeback, now that sinker/groundball pitchers are becoming a hot commodity... This will probably lead to less defensive focus on CF's, and we'll start to see a lot more power from that position.. Last edited by novakjr; 03-01-2012 at 07:58 PM.

I think that Frank Robinson may be the all-time underrated player.

Emmitt Smith? Wow.
I still remember him seperating his shoulder and refusing to come out of the game. He played the whole game versus the Giants, the number one defense in the league, and totaled 168 yards rushing and ten catches. And this wasn't any regular season game. It was for the NFC East Championship. "We see him walk off the field holding his arm, and we think he is hurt," Giant linebacker Michael Brooks said. "But he still ran through us." Yes. Emmitt had the best offensive line in the league. Yes. Emmitt probably reaped the benefits of having Novacek, Irving and Harper as receivers, but the SOB was as tough as they come.

Good points
Yes, with relation to card prices, Mantle is over rated.
And also, yes, Frank Robinson is underrated - look at the stats, just a teeny tiny smidgen behind Aaron/Mays, yet his card prices seem too low. Try to find a really nice 1962 topps F.Roby or even a nice centered 1969 F. Roby - tough. Good points about O. Vizquel - great shortstop.

Just wondering why Cal Ripken is overrated?
