To make this thread more interesting than that, I decided to also start a Top Ten Post of underrated players of the past 25 years. Those underrated players can be unsung good-excellent players or those particularly solid part-timers who also escaped notice. I will have my own list soon.

Oh that's right, you do that all the time, but do not like it and go hide behind the "red line"
