Who is undervalued?

[jpruitt2]

Who in your opinion as a player or former player's cards are undervalued? This doesn't have to be a prospect. Just curious to see everyone's thoughts.

I completely agree with you on him.

I feel Eddie Mathews and Harmon Killebrew are as well.

 

[Nate Colbert 17]

I agree with Mathews and Killebrew.

I think you can add Frank Robinson to the list as well.

Lots of guys from the 80s-90s. Glavine, Pedro, Piazza, Glavine, Ivan Rodriguez all deserve bigger fan bases, IMHO, but I don't collect any of these guys, either, so who amI to say? But yeah, Frank Robinson is who I thought of first. He retired #4 on the hr list, triple crown, 2x MVP, RoY, slam dunk 1st ballot HoF and no one cares.

Aaron yes, Mathews yes, and as he wasn't mentioned in either post Warren Spahn maybe the most underrated

Spahn was supposed to follow Bob Gibson in my post but forgot to do so

What about Eddie Murray? I have never understood why people aren't that interested in him. He is one of the few with 500 hr and 3000 hits.

+1 for Carew

Good point on Murray. I think because he, and many other guys mentioned, had awesome career numbers but no OMG seasons (50 homers, .390 BA, etc) and they didn't really dominate a category like leading the league in hitting 7 years in a row, or have huge profiles that people just paid attention to, they just get overlooked. If you ask a non-Orioles fan to name his top 3 Eddie Murray moments, does anyone have any?

 

[Brewer Andy]

There's a point in there about "popularity" multiplying "value" more than on-field performance as well
