SI.com features a poll conducted with MLB players on who the most "overrated" pitchers in major league baseball are. Four Phillies made the list: Roy Halladay (13th), Cole Hamels (15th), Cliff Lee (11th), and Jonathan Papelbon (fifth).
There are a lot of pitchers on the list such as John Lackey, Ubaldo Jimenez, Joba Chamberlain and A.J. Burnett are on the list. Should Phillies fans be offended? 227 major league players were polled.
I would say they should check out the numbers, but so far this season only Cole Hamels and Jonathan Papelbon are putting them up.
