Mattanother semantics discussion:
Technically, over-rated could connote a player being rated as best all time when they are really 2nd best, since you've rated them higher then what they were supposed to be. Colloquially, in our context, over-rated is taken to mean that he's just an average HOF and not one of the best pitchers of all time. Arguments of best pitcher vs. 3rd best pitcher don't really qualify for the traditional use of over-rated.
