Yes! Piazza is an overrated MLB player.... I think Jason Varitek, David Eckstein, and Brian Roberts are other overrated players...

Oh, that's right. I said it! "Say Hey" Willie Mays was overrated x 10. I mean, the guy no where near clutch. Let's look at the stats, shall we?

Mays: 25 post season games, .247 BA, 6 extra base hits, 1 HR! Yes, one lousy, pathetic, useless HR.

Rodriguez: 31 post season games, .305 BA, 15 extra base hits, 6 HR's.

Yes, bring up the fact that these days players not only play more games in the post season (or potentially) but they do play "weaker" teams; therefore, the stats may be a bit inflated. Still, would you not take Mays because he wasn't "clutch" enough? I thought so

If some of you mean that A-Rod is over hyped then welcome to the new age in sports where even the water boy's prom date is over hyped.

Thanks for playing though.

Valient attempt my man...but you don't understand the scope of the convo...we are talking baseball in a very, very limited scope...for reference go dig up the exchange that was had on "The best hitter in baseball"...its required reading for this conversation...just trying to help educated you... ...btw, I am over at your house going through your DVD movies right now...I might or might not return what I borrow...later bro...

MVB: I stand corrected. Overrated was the wrong word. Clutch: That's all Yankee fans want. I'd rather see A-Rod save a few of those moon shots for October.

[MVB]

Yes, A-Rods lack of clutch hitting is EXTREMELY annoying... but I think he plays his role well. He brings in most of the team's runs... Jeter does the October hitting.

[ThePundit]

Okay, A-Rod got a big hit today in the WBC - a baby step but a good one. Maybe it'll give him some confidence that will pay dividends into October.

If he does come up with a "clutch swing" then he'll probably be the best hitter in baseball. Right now, that's all he lacks...
