I don't even fear Sosa anymore. When the Sox are playing the Cubs or when the Cubs are on tv and I'm rooting against them I see him as an easy out instead of a good player. He GIDPs and Ks when it matters. He sucked all of September, but he had 1 2 HR day...IN A LOSS!!! I love it.

Sammy

I had to go with Piazza. When was the last time he did a damn thing. Sosa is not far behind at all.

Sosa is almost a GUARANTEE to fail when the game is on the line.

500+ homers, almost ALL of them meaningless.

Like today? :headbang :headbang :headbang :headbang :headbang

Half a hop, warning track power!!

:lol: :lol:

"Son tine eet oppen, son tine eet DON' oppen!!"

:lol: :lol:

mike piazza no doubt, then sammy

I don't think sosa is a god anymore like the media plays him out to be, he was good for 3 seasons a baseball god for 1 season in my book. :fthecubs

Wow I am the only Jeter? At least Sosa has put up big numbers in his career, what the hell has Jeter ever done?

Gotta go Piazza just over Sosa, the guy can't even throw to 2nd from the catcher's spot. But most overrated player on a most bloated contract would be Appier or Mo Vaughn.

Jeters pretty overrated too. Hes had 100 RBIs only once. 20 homers only twice in eight full seasons. The only reason hes so well known is because he plays in the Bronx. Hes good, dont get me wrong, but not as good as everyoen thinks...

They also make a big deal about him being their new "Mr. October." He's such a playoff stud, eh.

Is it OK for me to nominate the entire Chicago White Sox offense, minus Carlos Lee, or is that a no?

 

If not....I'll just vote for Billy Koch(because I voted other)

Can Koch be overrated when everyone already thinks he sucks?

:D

And Jeter is overrated because he plays in NY and everyone there thinks every Spankee is Jesus.... :fyou the Spankees.

Derek Jeter, and a lot of people put him in the same category as A Rod, he isnt even close to Nomar and Tejada's level...

JETER

Cross town hate put a side and recognizing that Jeter's shoulder may not have been 100% I have to go with none of the above.

Sore shoulder or not, Jeter is not a $19 million (3rd higest paid) player. There are at least 3 SS's alone i would take over Jeter, and probably 25 MLers I would take over him.

Overpaid is not the same thing as overrated. Although Jeter does fit into both categories.

Pay is the easiest measure of a players rating. But with Jeter they are already talking about him as HOF type player, which is a joke.

In some cases yes, but I would argue that AROD is overpaid but he is not overrated as a player. And yes Jeter as a hall of famer is a joke. He is only a marginal all star.
