There are plenty of baseball players that are not given their due. To contrast, there are plenty of players that are given far too much credt, and those players will be mentioned in this article.
The criteria to make this list is simple. Fans and media alike talk about this player far too much for how much they actually produce, and while some of these players are very productive, they are still given too much praise.
A player cannot make the list if he is simply old, so despite everyone in baseball still loving Ken Griffey Jr., he won’t make the list simply because he is in the twilight of his career.
Some on this list may surprise you on impact, but once you read the article you will see that the numbers do not agree with the love these players get.
Enjoy!
