Harden isn't underated at all, he's a very good pitcher, Bud Black said in a pregame interview that Harden was one of the top 5 pitchers in the leauge. He is known throughout the league. And his betting price also backs that up. I guess its all where you live at which determines how much people talk about someone.
Zambrano kind of the same but a bit different in that he has a ridiculous temper and loses composier easily. I know his abilities are NOT underated. He also gets alot of exposure on WGN Nationally.
Rodgers perception is simular to Harden, but the whole camera thing, made the lines expect some bad games with the distraction. Making him a dog acouple of times.
My most underrated pitcher would be John Lackey. I live on the Westcoast and no one even talks about how good this guy is. He is after all the GAME 7 WINNER OF THE WORLD SERIES. His walks aren't very good but he is haveing a very good year.<TABLE class=yspwhitebg cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=yspdetailttl style="BORDER-RIGHT: #f4f5f1 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: #e2e2e2; PADDING-BOTTOM: 7px; PADDING-TOP: 7px" align=middle width=60>W-L</TD><TD class=yspdetailttl style="BORDER-RIGHT: #f4f5f1 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: #e2e2e2; PADDING-BOTTOM: 7px; PADDING-TOP: 7px" align=middle width=60>ERA</TD><TD class=yspdetailttl style="BORDER-RIGHT: #f4f5f1 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: #e2e2e2; PADDING-BOTTOM: 7px; PADDING-TOP: 7px" align=middle width=60>K</TD><TD class=yspdetailttl style="BORDER-RIGHT: #f4f5f1 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: #e2e2e2; PADDING-BOTTOM: 7px; PADDING-TOP: 7px" align=middle width=60>Walks</TD><TD class="yspdetailttl padded3px" style="BACKGROUND: #e2e2e2" align=middle width=60>WHIP</TD></TR><TR><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #f4f5f1 1px solid" align=middle>8-4

he allowed only 8 homeruns, and has 125 K's
His lines are rarely inflated, for the Angels, today he is -140 against Bush who just got called up yesterday from AAA. Much more goes into the number, I know but Lackey is underated around the board.IMO
