Jayson Stark's Most Over-rated/Under-rated list

  1. This is a fantastic debate, and it makes me think more of Fernando Valenzuela than anyone. From what I hear (wasn't quite old enough), the guy OWNED LA in the early 80s. But his legend became bigger than he really was, which says a lot, because he could fill out those pants.

    Something really momentous has to be at hand for me to give a closer even a millisecond of second thought for Cy.

    CC Sabathia is on pace for 206 Ks and 35 walks.

    I thought that was pretty damned good... then I looked at Pedro's 2000 again: 284 Ks, 35 BB.

    Wow.

    If Papelbon stayed healthy last year and maintained his pace, he would have had a decent shot at the Cy Young.

    And I still can't beleive Colon beat out Santana in '05...what were sportswriters thinking? Besides a few extra wins, Santana > Colon in every single meaningful category.

    And, to me, it would have been a disgrace.

    I quote myself (is that allowed? ;)) from last July 16.

    I've always enjoyed the Duane Wards and Scot Shields, guys who could close (and Ward did for a couple of years before he was hurt) but who are more valuable pitching multiple pressure innings in almost every winning situation.
