most underrated No. 3 -- Hanley Ramirez (紅襪真貨) We liked playing that Player A versus Player B game so much, let's try it again. Player A is a National League shortstop. He is averaging a .303 batting average, 129 runs scored, 76 extra-base hits and 52 stolen bases per 162 games in his career. Player B is also an NL shortstop. He's averaging .288, 114 runs, 60 extra-base hits and 61 steals per 162 games. Player A is 23. So is Player B. So which one would you start your team with? If I didn't tell you the names, I'm betting you'd take Player A, right? But now let's reverse that. Let's say I had never shown you those numbers. And then I asked if you'd rather have Ramirez (aka Player A) or Jose Reyes (Player B). Then what? Admit it. You'd take Reyes. Heck, to be honest, I'd probably take Reyes myself. But does anybody who doesn't own a teal cap know Ramirez's numbers are actually better? Dubious. Which sums up his underratedness just about perfectly. No. 8 -- Kevin Youkilis When a guy has been a star in "Moneyball," and then becomes an everyday player for the Red Sox, you wouldn't think it would even be possible for him to be a candidate for an all-underrated anything team. So for Youkilis to make this squad, it might have to rank as the greatest achievement in his whole career. But in case you haven't been paying attention, this fellow has turned into much more than just "The Greek God of Walks." The only AL first baseman outslugging him is Justin Morneau. Nobody beats him in OPS, batting average, runs scored or multihit games. And one AL executive wanted to make sure we noticed what an underrated defender he is -- so now that he mentions it, Youkilis hasn't made an error at first since last July. Nevertheless, he still gets overshadowed by just about every position player around him, and by half the other first basemen in the league. And you'd be amazed how often "overshadowed" translates to "underrated" when you're writing columns like this one. -- | | | ▁M ▁   ( o__o) ( V 〃 V ╱> > ╱讓我們和Alonso一起窩在PTT角落 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.120.32.133
