Who do you think are the most underrated and overrated players in Thew Show? Not saying who deserves more OVR or stats, What I mean is who are those players that have for example, 72 OVR but in your franchise they constantly play well.. They play much more than what their stats show. And the opposite for overrated, those guys rated high but always struggle?

Im asking this because in my Cardinals franchise, im in year 3, and I have noticed that there are a few players who hit and have low stats, and doesnt hit but have high stats. The curious part of it is that half of those players plays exactly like that in another franchise I have.

Underrated players I have noticed are:
- SP Tommy Hanson and SP Jason Vargas. They have pretty decent stats but as you know, Jered Weaver and CJ Wilson are the top dogs in rotation, however, both Vargas and Hanson have outpitched by far those two. For the second straight season, they both had 16 W and ERA under 3.10.
- RP/CP Mark Montgomery. Though he has a 97 K/9, he is at 71 OVR. I took the gamble and chose him in the rule 5 draft starting thr second season and made him my closer. He ended up with 55 SV and starting third season his OVR is at 86. He is one of the fastest players in terms of progressing I have seen so far.

Overrated:
- Mike Trout. For some odd reason, he has struggled a lot. Although he has averaged in two seasons 20 HR and 80 RBI's, his AVG doesnt even reach the .240 AVG.

I'll go check other players and post it here as I cannot remember well. Have you seen guys in your franchise like this?
Most underrated guy in all the shows is Pierre. I have played full seasons with him and gotten 40+ SBs and never batted below .300. I honestly find he doesn't make any errors and is rated like 70 in the game, it's a disgrace, the guy is a great speedy outfielder who can play CF, and LF and can hit .300.
