A more recent pick would be Nomar. Guy was an absolute terror at the plate.

Hell yeah, Boggs was under-rated. Check out his 1987 season and then explain to me how he came in 9th in the MVP race.
He's a modern statisticians dream player.
Boggs was also much better defensively, then he ever got credit for. Even in his earlier years when he was getting charged with a lot of errors, his range factor was always excellent.
