OriginalSin Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 thank god somebody said it: #1, 2, 4, 8 especially!!!!!!http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/4803552The following is an exercise in craven subjectivity.We're talking overrated and underrated. Any time these two words are introduced into the discussion, you're taking into account individual perceptions, however skewed and adulterated those might be.Nevertheless, we're at a point in the season in which performances are meaningful from a sample size standpoint, and we can also, with reasonable accuracy, read the hype meters around the league. Who's getting too much ink? Who's owed some bandwidth? These are the overrated and underrated performers for the season in our midst. And this time, it's the players whose numbers don't rise to the level of the column inches.If they were a band, they'd be Coldplay. Yep, it's the top 10 most overrated players for 2005 ...The following is an exercise in craven subjectivity.We're talking overrated and underrated.

Scott Podsednik, LF, White SoxTo hear many in the media tell it, Podsednik is the catalyst for the best team in the American League. To hear the numbers tell it, Podsednik is a below-average performer by left-fielder standards. He has his merits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginalSin Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 from SI.comthis is unbelievably sad and pathetic:The NL WorstAPAt one point, it was funny, perhaps even cute. Now it's just horrifying. You all know what I'm talking about: the NL West "race." Despite being below .500, the Padres (64-66 through Monday's games) have a healthy 4 1/2-game lead over the second-place Dodgers and D'backs. For weeks now, San Diego has been resetting the record for latest date in a season for a losing team to be in first place.Among the various number-cruching pieces that have sprouted up on this topic recently, this tidbit from the Elias Sports Bureau (as reported by the Rocky Mountain News' Tracy Ringolsby) is the most salient: The worst out-of-division winning percentage was .412 by the 2002 AL Central. The NL West is at .418. So it's not the worst division ever, but it's close, and it could be the first to give us a sub-.500 playoff team. That's a problem.Aside from the 1994 Rangers, who led the AL West at 52-62 when the strike hit, the closest baseball has come to such a debacle was in 1973, when the Mets won the NL East with an 82-79 record. That is still the mark for fewest wins by a division champ -- at least for now. The 1997 Astros and '84 Royals each won 84 games, and the '87 Twins went 85-77. Among those four teams, the Mets (NL champs) and Twins (world champs) won playoff series; the Astros and Royals were swept.Among the other Big Three sports, non-winning teams make the playoffs every so often, but it's never happened after a full season of baseball, a sport that prides itself in being different. That's the whole point of the 162-game schedule, to make sure only deserving ballclubs are left at the end. The NL West is threatening to blow that whole premise apart. How can a division be deserving of sending a team to the playoffs when it allowed the Kansas City Royals to go 7-5 against it in interleague play? (Overall, the mighty AL Central went 44-25 against the NL West in interleague action.)The scariest part of isn't even that a losing team might make the playoffs. It's that a losing team might win in the playoffs. If the Padres take so much as a series, let alone a pennant or a World Series, then all of the statheads who have called the current playoff format a crapshoot will have been proven correct. MLB will have to at least consider a new rule that would disqualify a losing division champion from postseason play and allow the top four records to advance. Hopefully, it won't come to that. The Padres will have every chance to reach the .500 mark and surpass it in September/October, when they play 23 of their remaining 30 games within their own division. Can we at least count on this meek division to save itself?-- Jacob Luft (1:45 p.m.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
