Bryce Harper named 'most overrated' in anonymous poll of 143 major leaguers

Bryce Harper named 'most overrated' in anonymous poll of 143 major leaguers

The term "overrated" is hard to define, but let's say it really means "over-hyped" or talked about too much. Does that mean Major League Baseball players are right, and Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper is the most overrated? Harper has made two All-Star teams in his first two major league seasons. After working out during the winter, he came into camp "as big as a house." And how he wants his on-base percentage to go "through the roof." Does this sound like a person resting on the perception of others?

While any result is possible in a popularity contest where those questioned remain anonymous, it seems like MLB players are off base here. What were they accomplishing when they were 19 or 20 years old? You, fans at home and work, take our anonymous survey and answer the question:
