In a recent player’s poll done by Sports Illustrated, Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez ran away with the title of most overrated player in the game as voted on by 185 of his peers.
A-Rod took 18 percent of the vote, while teammates Joba Chamberlain took 12 percent and Derek Jeter took 7 percent.
When asked to comment, Rodriguez and Chamberlain were playful in their responses. “I will say this — if this is the only thing we’re talking about, we’re doing good,” Rodriguez said according to Wallace Matthews of ESPN.com. “I’m in good company, dammit,” Chamberlain said.
Jeter, however, wasn’t a big fan of the poll. “We’re doing this again? I’ve got no comment on their anonymous polls,” he said. “So there you have it. Got it? All right.’’
Lighten up dude.
Poll probably should have been “Most Detested Player”.
Fantasy God,
Can’t seem to trade Ichiro or Carpenter (no Interest in them)
I don’t want 2 bn
I have Elsbury-Crawford-Cruz-Morrison-Suzuki-Lind-Butler
Also have molina-sanchez-prado-Arumus-Alexie
I’d rather have Guthrie-Harang-Humber in place of Carpenter
Also have Venters as 3rd rp
Looks like 2 Hitters ? and Carpenter to waivers?
What do you recommend( 10 team h2h points very competitive league)
Thank You
@John Christopher – Looks like the questions for me has spilled over onto other columns now! I wouldn’t cut Carpenter. He had 2 bad months so I expect 2 great months to come. Its too early in the season to cut a guy who has been in cy young talks every year for the past few seasons. I would much rather have Carpenter’s potential upside than Guthrie, Harang, and Humber. As far as the hitter go just dump Lind and pick up a starter. One bench hitter is fine. And your outfield is completely stacked by the way. I don’t see why Ichiro wouldn’t have any trade interest. Try to get a pitcher who has struggled, but is starting to turn it around like Ubaldo, Latos, or Greinke
