    I'd put Eckstein on my overrated team.

    How about John Maine? I know he gets more coverage in NY, but what about elsewhere?

    Re: 2008 MLB All-Underrated Team

    I'm not filing my team under the year 2008. It makes no sense to me to rate the players' performances based on 13 games.

    C. Bengie Molina
    1B. Adrian Gonzalez
    2B. Orlando Hudson
    SS. Khalil Greene
    3B. Kevin Kouzmanoff
    LF. Raul Ibanez
    CF. Kenny Lofton
    RF. Luke Scott

    I listed the great defensive infielders (except for Kouz) who hit better than they get credit for. Kouz makes my list because even Mark Reynolds gets more attention. Ibanez is still a more consistent hitter than Adrian Beltre is. I might be wrong about Scott being just a fourth outfielder.

    SP - Aaron Harang
    SP - Derek Lowe
    SP - Jake Westbrook
    SP - Aaron Cook

    RH RP - Chad Bradford
    LH RP- Joe Beimel FTW!

    I don't believe in underrated closers.

    Khalil and Kouzmanoff. Boy, that was stupid of me. If there was one player I wished I could have put in there, it's Jayson Werth. I can put Andy LaRoche in there now, but I know better than to underestimate him, so he's not exactly underrated in my book.
