Personally, I think Hideo Nomo may be the most underrated pitcher in baseball. Several times this season he gave up 1 run in 8 innings only to look up and see that the offensively lacking Dodgers had put up nothing.

Wood is still a young pitcher, I wouldn't call him overrated.

I say he's over-rated because he went 14-11. He did have a good post-season. I'll give him that. But a guy who went 14-11 just isn't great.

By the way, CB, it isn't like Wood is a 21 year old kid. He's 26 and has been in the league since 1998.

I know. But 26 is still relatively young for a pitcher, and many don't hit their peak until early 30's.

I do see what you're saying, but I'm just trying to say that if he were that great he would have been one of the top pitchers in the game. He's definitely better than most, but I don't consider him one of the 10-15 best pitchers in the game right now. Maybe he'll get there sometime. Maybe this year.
