Jordan4life_2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I've always thought for a long time that this guy was one of the most underrated players in the game. He doesn't even get a mention when u talk about top players or even top players at his position. He's a class act who doesn't talk any trash or disrespect anybody. With the Angels World Series run last year and this past all-star break the world has finally gotten a chance to see one of the top players in the game perform...

SoxFan1 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 How are you underrated if you are starting in LF in the ASG, win the HR Derby, and win MVP of the ASG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Garret Anderson and Magglio Ordonez were always part of my all under-rated team. Hank Blalock is another guy on that team. Only 22 years old, DAMN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious PW Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 How are you underrated if you are starting in LF in the ASG, win the HR Derby, and win MVP of the ASG? Because he wasn't voted on to be the starter, and he was considered a long shot to win the HR Derby. That's how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Garret Anderson and Magglio Ordonez were always part of my all under-rated team. Hank Blalock is another guy on that team. Only 22 years old, DAMN. I own both of them on my fantasy team along with Vernon Wells, another underrated player. Quite possibly the best fantasy OF available right now: Anderson, Wells, Ordonez.

Jim Fainter Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I agree with SoxFan1. Anderson isn't underrated. He's just a great ball player. Hawk has been tooting his horn for years. Others, too. I'm sure they love him in California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I agree with SoxFan1. Anderson isn't underrated. He's just a great ball player. Hawk has been tooting his horn for years. Others, too. I'm sure they love him in California. Before this weekend...... How many people would list Garrett Anderson in the Top 5 AL outfielders? Top 10? He goes about his business quietly without much fanfare. I think you can definitely say he is underated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Top Ten???? Anybody who knows anything about baseball would have him in the top 10 AL outfielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Top Ten???? Anybody who knows anything about baseball would have him in the top 10 AL outfielders. Ichiro Manny Ramirez Maggs Bernie Williams Johnny Damon Torii Hunter Hideki Matsui Vernon Wells Carlos Beltran Jacque Jones Juan Gonzalez Carl Everett Carl Crawford Rocco Baldelli Dmitri Young I know this is a stretch, but some people could have chosen others in front of him before the last 3 days. The fact that he is not known by the masses makes him underrated in my mind. He has gotten better and better and if you aren't playing that close attention, you might not have known how well he was really doing. I agree with you Jim, that he is a great player and is definitely a top 10 OF. But the number of people who know baseball really well, isn't as great as you think. Not compared to the masses of casual fans out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
