Who are some of the overrated and underrated players in MLB The Show 17?

[MoneyOvaHuds]

I haven't really found many overrated but I think Javy Baez is underrated in terms of speed and his defense. He just feels very average when he's one of the best 2B defenders in the league.

Kole Calhoun is very underrated on defense, he's only got something like 55 speed but he catches everything for me

over- kershaw
I can see him being a 98, but 99? c'mon man, thats ridonculous.

under- trout, hows he not a 100? somebody in san diego got an axe to grind?

just kidding
but seriously

over-d'backs legend luis gonzalez - no way he should be rated higher than
cal ripken AND ozzie smith AND wade boggs AND robin yount AND reggie jackson
AND ernie banks AND willie stargell AND brooks robinson AND catfish hunter
AND carlton fisk AND rod carew AND probably 5 more legends

under- addison russell was an 82 in the november roster update, what happened in the off-season for him to drop?

I don't know what year that card is from, but if it's 2001, I think he absolutely should be rated that high.

Brett Gardner's Power is overrated. He is a 51 Power vs RHP and 40 against LHP meanwhile Yadier Molina is a 36 Power vs RHP and 34 vs LHP.

Brett's Career Ab/HR is 55.9
While Yadier Molina's is a 50.5

Brett should be more like a 32 Power against Rhp and 29 Power vs LHP.

The ratings are based entirely on one season according to SDS, right? So 2001 Luis Gonzalez should be incredibly high rated. He was a monster that season. Drove in like 150 runs and hit 50+ bombs. Slugged some ridiculous percentage. I mean he was obviously juicing, but still lol.

The fact that Gary Sanchez and Greg Bird are B potentials while Aaron Judge and Tyler Austin (WTF?) are A potentials for the Yankees is a little mind boggling

Brandon Finnegan being a 69 overall is criminal

Duffy at 81 and c potential was a little light imo.

Re: Who are some of the overrated and underrated players in MLB The Show 17?

As a lifelong Cubs fan, I can't really complain about Russell, Schwarber, and Hendricks because Javy and Heyward seem slightly/moderately overrated to me (going purely on OVR). However, I do think that both Kyles should be A potentials. And Addison's power should be higher -- he had 21 HR's and 95 RBI as a 22 year old SS. Hendricks plays way higher than his rating, and Javy's defensive ratings should be higher -- but how to do that without inflating his OVR?

Why the HELL is Trea Turner a B potential? And Jonathan Villar a C potential? Someone's asleep at the switch.
