Unsung All-Stars: Best Players Who Don't Get Their Due

[Majingir]

Adam Lind an Unsung all star? He did have great seasons, but hasn't been great in past little while.

If I were to have a Jays 1B on that list, it'd be Encarnación. Dating back to 2011, he's had 40 home runs,113 RBIS and is batting .281(in 217 combined games). This year alone with 23HR,58RBI and .295 batting average.

Trade value would have been real low for him in the game,and he only costs 3.5M(to think, him at 3.5M is producing 9HR,8RBI and .027 better than a certain guy named Pujols earning 12M this season)

Great article! I'm not even a baseball fan, but if I were, I'd be looking for these players in my franchises!

I have always pitched really well with Darren Oliver, and hit well with Maicer Izturis.

Nice read!

I can attest to the "below the radar", quality / consistency of Suzuki and Anderson...

Got top notch performance in both played and simmed games...

Well, at least until their contracts were up and I "Moneyballed" them to the Cubs and Phils, respectively...

Alex Gordon LF (KC) & Alcides Escobar SS (KC) could both very well make this list. I'm not being a homer or anything. Escobar is batting over .310 and has highest BA of all SS in MLB and has an amazing glove. Gordon led the MLB in OF assists last year and batted over .300 with 20 HR's and I forget how many RBIs while batting in the leadoff spot. He's more deserving to be on this list than Frenchy; I know we're the Royals but still, got to give credit to these two guys. They'd be on my just missed list if the writer did something like that.
