Hanley is arguably the best all around player in baseball right now.
"The guy is an idiot," Pedroia said regarding Cabrera. "I dropped my bat. It kind of freaked me out. I was upset they took him out of the game. He is good to hit. He's 9-15. The guy [stinks]."

So much so that some don't even know his name.

Underated:

Grady Sizemore
Ted Lilly (as much as I hate to say it)

Overated:

Every Brewers starter except Sheets
