Overrated/Underrated DD Players

[SigmundFraud]

I'll start it off by saying the Grady Sizemore throwback card is a little ridiculous. It's probably the best card against right handed pitching in the game right now (yeah arod and pujols are good but Sizemore hits left handed). Don't get me wrong, Sizemore '06 was good, but the power stats they gave him are a little crazy. He didn't even hit 30 homeruns that season.

So far the Yasiel Puig I pulled from my preorder packs has only been good for defense. I can't get hits with him for some reason even though he has hot zones across the entire strike zone.

Re: Overrated/Underrated DD Players

regular Puig is not rated very highly as a hitter. The flashback Puig looks like one of the best RF's out there

Joe Morgan seems pretty overrated to me

Prince Fielder is the same way. Maybe players that got flashback cards got lower base stats.

Sandberg's card looks pretty disappointing. Second Baseman overall is so misleading

Me viewing a 2B: "Oh snap he's a 95 overall!"

After checking his attributes: "Well **** he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat but I'm so glad he'll never make and error and I can steal all day when he gets walked..."

After making 5 errors in a game: "That's it! I'm putting a damn catcher at second now or something because this is a bunch of bull!"

They completely Botched beltres throwback. I mean his hitting stats are ok, but Not representative of 320+ and 48 bombs. He should be way better. Also arenado should have more power and arm strength. 75 arm strength?! He should have 90+ in that area.

Yeah I saw the Beltre card yesterday, the hitting stats are pretty laughable when you think about how insane his season was. I just don't understand why someone like Sizemore is rewarded so mightily for being good against righties only. Beltre was way better against righties than Sizemore was, but somehow his in game ratings are worse. And I'm with you on Arenado, that card all around is just not nearly good enough.

Re: Overrated/Underrated DD Players

Justin Upton has been crap for me, can't hit anything with him and he made two absolutely ridiculous errors last night to cost me a win. He's also un-tradeable, so I'm stuck with him.

What's up with his steal rating? 30? Are you serious, he stole 20 bases and only got caught 5 times last year. Somehow Eric Hosmer got a better steal rating, he stole 7 bases and got caught 3 times. How does that make any sense at all.

Through 10 games Marwin Gonzalez is hitting .700 in my lineup.

Re: Overrated/Underrated DD Players

Mitch Moreland has been raking for me. I picked him up to help get the 95 Kinsler and have been using him ever since. I love his stance, XBH almost every at bat against righties.

Well, I started out hitting 1/9 with Puig against the Twins. But after playing the Brewers and Cubs, he's now gone 11/16 with 4 HR, 2 doubles, 1 triple, 8 runs, and 4 RBI. And he only has 3 strikeouts in those 25 at bats.

All those games were on All-Star difficulty, so either the Twins park and Twins pitching was treating him badly, or I just got used to his swing timing. Because he's beasting now at the top of my lineup. No one else on my team has been as consistent offensively against the Brewers and Cubs.

He can even steal second sometimes depending on the release speed of the opposing pitcher. I've stolen 4 bases and gotten picked off 3 times with Puig while going for second base.

Re: Overrated/Underrated DD Players

Anyone used one of Jason Heywards cards? He's a nice fielder but his hitting ratings look pretty terrible on his current and FB cards but I've seen Problem use him is his twitch stream and he absolutely crushed. Not sure which version he has but thought he may be worth a try.

If you want to get a guy that can play good defense I would recommend Kevin Kiermaier instead of Heyward. I personally don't think Heyward is worth the stubs. Kiermaier is probably a lot cheaper, and he's probably going to break out this year- so he's a better investment.
