Ok I've been doing some comparisons of players with comparable WAR from the past season, and how prevalent their name is on the internet. This is to get an idea of who are the most underrated players today. Of course there are way more variables to consider and I did not do a complete run down, but this does give a good idea.
I limited the search range to the span of the regular season so that post season accomplishments didn't factor in. Also, I excluded anyone who might skew the results such as David Ortiz and Jose Fernandez for obvious reasons. That isn't to say I included everyone I should have. There is a limit to the search comparisons in google trends but I opted to pick names I felt would make interesting comparisons.
I thought the lack of Porcello was interesting considering he ended up with the Cy Young (though not without controversy). Also, Jose Ramirez, Brian Dozier, and Cesar Hernandez look to be some of the most underrated names last year. (Of course Ramirez is probably a different story if you take into account the post season)
I have them grouped by WAR in increments of 0.5
Colton Barnes
probably a better record SF not even a question.
if arizona gets goldy and pollock to full form and greinke and the rest of the pitching are even at 80% potential they'll likely make the playoffs.
Justin King
i thought it was saturday and im here with you guys instead of out having fun
Michael Brown
no
dodgers will win the division then get swept
no other nl west team will be within 5 games of a wild card
Michael Morris
if the doyers get their pitching together and have their rotation healthy in october its another NLCS appearance.They're the deepest team in baseball. SF is done thought, it'll be rox or snakes for 2nd in the west
Grayson Powell
If you're on a phone put it in landscape mode
Wyatt Torres
I believe in the rockies
Why don't you?
Zachary Walker
too many players have those big spikes that ruin it all
Connor Bell
I was actually thinking the same thing so I'm working on standardizing it with a sort of ratio to compare war/popularity.
I'll come up with something
Elijah Bennett
Nats desu senpai
Aaron Wood
why did kershaw peak in june? what was happening ?
Nicholas Davis
Because I believe in the Giants and we are most likely gonna need that wild card spot
Dylan Wood
they're pretty much done as a team they cant compete against the dodgers or cubs or even the rockies who will be better
Aiden Perry
>cant compete
they won the head to head series last year
Juan Jones
against the most injured team of all time? what an accomplishment.

I don't understand what this post is implying?
Elijah Gomez
I was at the first ever Mets-Mariners game
Carter Hernandez
sorry chief I wasn't feeling edgy earlier
I'd be pissed too if the country was crying and mourning and celebrating as some sort of hero some rich faggot fuck who killed my family member by being a fucking retard
Brandon Bailey
Did they ever even prove that Jose was the one driving? I doubt they'll get very far if they have no evidence that he was operating the boat
Daniel Turner
Leo Torres
>The attorney representing Fernandez's family, Ralph Fernandez, told the Sun Sentinel that a settlement is "highly unlikely," saying the official crash investigation has not been completed, but he expects it to find Jose Fernandez was not driving the boat when it crashed.
James Clark
Who /USCT/ here
Ay 3am still represetin
Brandon Scott
I was at the first cubs orioles game in wrigley. Place was packed with O fans. And it was 08 when the cubs were a first place team but for some reason the whole stadium seemed to be orange and black. Cubs lossed. Good time though.
Ian Reyes
It's his boat and he was the one that wanted to go out at 2am. He was easily the most intoxicated of the bunch also, and also had cocaine.
I think I read somewhere that he was the only one with a boating license but I don't see that anywhere so maybe I made it up
It probably can't be proven he was driving but I would definitely still say it's his fault if I was the affected family, his friends had texted him to stop being a fucking retard also
Ryan Ramirez
I thought it wasn't his boat? I don't know what details are even real anymore desu. I remember when they were adamant that there was no alcohol or drugs involved at first.
Wyatt Morales
Alright i got one for you guys.
Who is the only pitcher with at least 300 saves, and an ERA over 4?
Blake Davis
It doesnt matter what i do, even i compared everyone or any two players you will see that spike. The way the graph works is to make the highest of any sample at 100 and then adjust the others from there. If everyone was talked about equally then yeah it would hover around 100 but the fact is there are huge discrepsies in media reports and that's why there are underrated players which is the point of the charts.
Evan Jenkins
It has to be Jose Mesa
Henry Reyes
It is jose mesa!
Kayden Perez
That's milking season.
Ian Sanders
He just a good boy who loves baseball and life.

there are people on this board that don't remember the jose mesa-vizquel fued
> In the book, Vizquel criticized Mesa's performance in Game 7 of the 1997 World Series: "The eyes of the world were focused on every move we made. Unfortunately, Jose's own eyes were vacant. Completely empty. Nobody home. You could almost see right through him. Not long after I looked into his vacant eyes, he blew the save and the Marlins tied the game." Mesa reacted furiously, pledging to hit Vizquel upon every subsequent opportunity: "Even my little boy told me to get him. If I face him 10 more times, I'll hit him 10 times. I want to kill him."[2] By the end of the 2007 season, Mesa had hit Vizquel twice. Vizquel expressed regret in 2014 about what happened due to his comments about Mesa (which he also stated were misinterpreted) but Mesa and Vizuqel have never reconciled, to the point where Mesa said he hadn't spoken to Vizquel in over a decade and had no plans to ever talk to him again.

Brandon Phillips to the braves. Is this Atlanta's year?

They could win NLE if the stars align.

Is it a great team? No. But it's definitely competitive with the weak NL East.

nice work, finally some constructive autism. crashed my phone tho
might need to do a different scale though, scherzer getting 20 strikeouts blows every other 5.5-6.0 player right out of the water and makes the graph look like people only talked about scherzer in may and merely murmured about the rest of the players for the entire year
Dominic Ross
now post that pitching staff lmfao.
yes, braves have some good young players. no, they will not challenge for the division. get a clue
Cameron Hughes

Cooper Johnson
Check that last thread again boyo
Kevin Edwards
So what are you most excited to see from your team come spring training?
I'm going to go with Giovanny Soto pitching to Geovany Soto. But seriously probably and hopefully Moncada killing balls along with extended looks at other guys like Kopech, Basabe, Davidson, Liriano, Tilson and more. Damn its so close now. Soon.
