Sports Illustrated polled 185 major leaguers to determined the most overrated players in baseball. Three Yankees topped the list: Alex Rodriguez (18 percent), Joba Chamberlain (12) and Derek Jeter (7). Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon received 4 percent.
"I've been on this list before. I think it will be like that for the rest of my career," Rodriguez told the New York Daily News Tuesday. Asked if he was one of the players who was polled, A-Rod said: "I have so much respect for anyone that wears a major league uniform, I would never answer that."
Jeter brushed off a question about the poll, but Chamberlain joked that he was "disappointed that I'm not No. 1." Said the reliever: "My bills are still paid and I still have a job. I could care less as long as I'm still getting outs and doing the things I need to do."
