orangekrush88 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Ozzie Guillen=Overated? I don't quite understand this statement. He has been coaching for less than a year and a half, he is probably the most underated manager out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I think they're going by how much attention he is getting this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) There is an insider article that includes Scott Pod as the LF for most overrated. Here is his reasoning. "When looking for the most overrated players in the majors, that French phrase seems pretty appropriate. What does overrated mean, anyway? Just a notable underachiever? Or simply a player who's grossly overpaid, given how well he's currently playing? Or a chronic slacker, who has reached a certain level but shows no ambition to take his game to a higher level? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Or maybe a fan favorite whose reputation is greater than his actual talent? A player whose skills are overestimated by his teammates and opponents? Possibly a star who regularly receives lavish praise from broadcasters despite his lack of production? " How does that describe Scott? Edited May 4, 2005 by Palehosefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Nice to see Wood and Dusty getting some votes. I love Mark, but I think Peavy should receive a lot of votes for underrated also. The guy's stuff is flat out filthy and is going to have a monster year. He's going to be a top 5 pitcher in the league for the next few years.

Be Good Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Thats ridiculou to over-rate Ozzie. How can you over-rate a guy who is 2nd year manager and has his team off to the best record in April? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 There are reasons for calling Guillen an overrated manager, mainly because he is a poor manager. He does not make good decisions a lot as a manager. He is a guy that can motivate his club and keep it loose in the clubhouse, and makes the atmosphere fun, which is something you want.

SnB Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Pale hose jon has the greatest avatar ever. During that intro, I specifically looked for that poster. It's hilarious. Brooks should start making posters of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
