Maybe it is just me, but I struggle with players like Jimmie Foxx and Frank Robinson being underrated. But, I get that there is a difference between an absolute and relative scale. Those two are certainly underrated *relative* to some of their contemporaries, but are widely considered greats of the game (an absolute scale.)
I like the suggestion of Paul Blair, mainly because I have a Blair player collection. But, as someone who grew up rooting for the late '70s Yankees, I'd consider guys like Willie Randolph (65.9 WAR) and Graig Nettles (68.0 WAR) as not getting near enough love.
