Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter Voted Most Overrated Players in Baseball
Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez both have multi-million dollar contracts and actress girlfriends.
The two Yankees also have something else in common: They are among the overrated baseball players in the game, according to a survey of 185 major league ballplayers by Sports Illustrated.
A-Rod was voted most overrated, with 18 percent of his peers calling him out. Jeter came in third, with 7 percent of the vote. Nestled between the two superstars was another Yankee - the much ballyhooed prospect-turned-middle relief pitcher, Joba Chamberlain, who received 12 percent.
"I've been on this list before. I think it will be like that for the rest of my career," A-Rod said in response to his designation as most overrated.
Jeter was more circumspect. "I've got no comment on anonymous polls," the shortstop told the New York Daily News.
