Most Underrated players in the Game Right now? - Page 3

Between last year and the start of this year Carlos Gomez finally seems to be living up to his potential.

I really don't see how Paul Maholm is underrated. He has not shown any stand out performance before this season and he has only pitched 3 games. With this logic we should have 3 or 4 batters bat 400 this year, a couple guys hit 300 rbis and several pitchers get 35 wins. You could say this about any player who has a hot start, it really means nothing. IMHO

John Buck in a landslide. He went into the season as the # 831 ranked offensive player(Yahoo) on the board and currently rests at #9. There is no other pitcher or hitter close to that atmosphere.

Kind of disagree here, I feel he just needed to be on a solid team, being so long with cubs/pirates, I liked what he brought to table, I think his numbers have a solid chance of staying close to all star levels through the year

That doesn't make him underrated, it means he's likely off to a fluky start (based on a large sample of career numbers), granted this thread is basically a "who has the best 5 game sample size".

Based on the way that the question was asked, the correct answer is John Buck. Leads the major leagues in RBI's and is 2nd in HR's. 15 games in the twilight zone.

Homer Bailey is underrated he still has enormous potential and its starting to translate more consistently

I'm not saying he isn't a solid pitcher. I just don't think he is underrated. His innings pitched and strikeouts over the last 5 seasons doesn't say underrated to me.

Chris Johnson for sure. The Braves killed that trade. Maybe one day we'll all stop doubting Wrenn.

Jordan Zimmermann. They showed either his "Swing and miss on FB" percentage or average FB velocity when Harvey pitched against Strasburg and he was up there, I think third in the league.
