Two Oakland Athletics regulars made the MLB’s All-Underrated team, announced on Tuesday. This annual list identifies players who going into the season produce for their team but remain “unheralded” for their actions. The list is compiled by MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince.
Here are the qualifications:
- No All-Star appearances in the last five years.
- No BBWAA Awards (MVP, Cy Young, or Rookie of the Year), ever in the player’s career.
- No Silver Slugger or Gold Glove honors, ever in the player’s career.
- No All-MLB Team honors, ever in the player’s career.
