Most Over-Rated Players in MLB

Alfonso Soriano: Sure, versatile, but is he really as good as he gets paid for? 8 years 139 million dollars is not something that should go with the stats he puts up. He deserves a salary like 8 years 60 million, and even that is a lot. He got the money he got because of the high payroll. I have to admit when Soriano is hot, he is hotter than anyone, but when he is slumping, he tries to hit everything, and his plate discipline goes down the drain.
----------------------------------------------------------------
J.D Drew: Amazing isn't it, how much one RBI makes a difference? If Drew had 99 RBI in 2006, I could almost guarantee you that he would not get 14 million a year. Drew also had 20 Homers, and that also edged out a little bit more money. It seems amazing how players go to the NL to AL and struggle(J.D Drew, Matt Holiday), and how AL players go to the NL and dominate ( Cliff Lee,(recently) C.C Sabathia, and Matt Holiday who was traded back to the NL). Amazing how that pattern carries on isn't it?

Carlos Lee: When you have a wall that is only 19 feet high and 315 feet to home plate, you better be putting up big numbers. When you bat behind guys like Hunter Pence, Miguel Tejada, and Michael Bourn, who I think is one of the best base runners in the game, you better drive them in. Everyone thinks that the green monster or the right field porch in Yankee Stadium is the easiest place to hit a homerun, but the wall in left is 1 foot farther then the short porch in the Bronx, and is 19 feet shorter than the green monster, then you can hit anything over that wall. Where else does Lee play Busch Stadium, where the wall is 336 feet from home plate, not so long either, as well as 355 to left in Wrigley, he hit 30+ homers in Milwaukee when he played as a Brewer, so that is no question that he can hit there, and Cincinnati has a great hitters park, and the Pirates park is the only one with flaws.
