I think the real question is whether those not mentioned will continue to be overlooked, or if everyone will wake up one day and suddenly realize how amazing they really were.

My guess is that any positive change is likely to be driven by some good publicity. Think Alexander Hamilton. He was sorta known among a set of the populace that was into history, but not seriously known by the general public. But along comes a fancy new musical, and all of a sudden he’s got some crazy popularity.

So maybe your strategy should be to buy up most of the supply of a few under-loved players, and then create a musical that features those players and goes viral and takes the world by storm. Then you can slowly offload them at huge gains.

If you feature a few pitchers as your main characters, you could name it “Pitches be Trippin’”.

Or produce a commercial where Glavine and Maddux say chicks dig the fast ball.
