Some love from Dave Cameron for "The Most Underrated Player in Baseball": Erick Aybar

16

Most of the article is behind the paywall, but this pretty much gets to the jist of it: "Aybar seems to fly under the radar for many of the same reasons as Pagan. He's a good hitter relative to his peers at an up-the-middle position, but he's not the kind of dynamic offensive player who shows up on "SportsCenter" a lot. Rather than being excellent at any one thing, he's solid at a number of things and excels in areas that people pay little attention to, such as running the bases. And, of course, he's been overshadowed by more famous teammates for practically his entire career, and given that he's now on the same team as Mike Trout, that's not likely to change any time soon."
