    Until he started getting some love toward the end of his career, I'd have put Craig Biggio at the top of the list. Great player, busted his ass every day, hardly missed a game and played several different positions at various points in his career. His contributions really flew under the radar until his last couple years.

    Under the radar? He was an All-Star seven times .

    True, but he never got the same kind of pub as other players of his generation. He was always just kind of there. Not real flashy, just steady. Even the debate over his HOF credentials suggests he was underappreciated.

    Manny Mota? (he was the all-time pinch-hit leader before someone broke the record a few years back).
