Just as with the two parts listing some of the most underrated players in Red Sox history, we now turn our attention to part two of the most overrated. I went to great pains to explain in the first part of this article that “overrated” does not mean the same thing as bad but to no avail. As I expected, the majority of people missed that point entirely and reacted emotionally and hostilely while completely missing the points I was trying to make.
That’s fine and I have no problem with lively disagreement and debate, as long as it’s done in a civil manner (and for the most part, it wasn’t…such is the world we live in these days).
