for pitchers Kershaw for sure
Harper would have been my 4th choice behind Trout, Pujols, and Cabrera for "hitters" and I considered him too old for an "up and comer."
But yes, Harper too. I think he's been a pendulum of over-rated, under-rated, over-rated, under-rated ... players with that much hype are very difficult to properly appreciate for what they are.
I think Juan Soto might eventually fit that category. He's only 23 years old, and already has analysts and baseball talking heads comparing him to Ted Williams. If that's the standard he is measured by, he's going to underwhelm.
