June 5, 201213 yr MLB Network voted him #2 behind Michael Young. The MLBN Facebook page voted him #2 behind Carlos Ruiz. To me #2 on both lists is true underrated-ness. If you're #1 are you truly underrated?

No seriously though, Young's actually OVERRATED. Some guy gave him a #1 MVP vote last year. Really? Edited June 5, 201213 yr by chw42

June 6, 201213 yr QUOTE (Spod=Ratings @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 05:49 PM) Only Paulie could be underrated on an underrated list. QOTY
June 6, 201213 yr To not be underrated, Konerko would have to take at least 3 more pitches to the face.
June 6, 201213 yr In my opinion, to put Konerko on such a list really does him a disservice. It underrates him. As does this post.
