- Derrek Lee- He is a good hitter, but why do people expect him to hit 40 HR again?? He has done it once and he probably won't do it again.
- Jermaine Dye- Amazing right? I actually have a White Sox player on here. He is much like Lee in only done it once. I still expect something like .300-35-110, but nothing like last season.
- Felix Hernandez- "King Felix" and his career ERA of 3.84. I think this guy is going to be really good like everyone else, but we shouldn't "crown" him so soon. This sport is too easy to "flame out" in.
Underrated
- Paul Konerko- This guy is really an amazing hitter and puts up solid power numbers year after year yet, just as consistent as he hits, gets left out of the Top 5 First Baseman Conversation.
- Jason Varitek- His value to his team is higher than any in baseball. In my opinion, he should win MVP year after year, easily. Here is an example: The Red Sox Sign Dice-K, Varitek goes out and learns Japanese(a very difficult language) just so he can comunicate.
- Tadihito Iguchi- Yup. Another White Sox. Suprise, Suprise. Guillen called Iguchi(in his rookie year) the MVP of the 2005 White Sox squad that won 99 games and a World Championship. Iguchi might never put up the monster numbers like those other guys, but he does the little things like bunting, taking pitches and defense that make a winner.

Paul Konerko is not underrated. Varitek should not have ever won MVP and never should. Although learning Japanese is noble, he was an offensive liability last year and probably will remain one this year. Tadihito Iguchi is definitely not underrated. Three of the six players you spoke of were White Sox players, is this a baseball blog or a White Sox blog?
