    Is Matt Cain the most underrated pitcher in baseball?

    Not sure when this kid is going to get the recognition he deserves. If he had any shred of run support ever in his career he would be looked at as an elite pitcher. I think as it stands right now he is looked at as a very good pitcher.

    Mark my words, This kid if destined for greatness. He's a horse.

    Not really underrated. His lines are usually where they should be.

    The Giants are the only sports team I'm a fan of. But I'm not sold on the greatness of Cain. He definitely is a solid pitcher, but he isn't a dominating pitcher that will have sub 3 era for a long time. I hope I'm wrong, but I see him around 3.0-3.3 era average kind of pitcher.

    Put him in the American league east and see how he shapes up, nobody is impressed by shutting down the dodgers and padres in pitchers ballparks.

    Yes, the most underrated #2 man and has been for years . Kershaw is the most underrated ace.

    If he was on a team that scored runs his achievements would be much better recognized. People put too much emphasis on W-L record.

    Cain always has a meltdown late season, he doesn't have the stamina to finish the season, only exception was last year, during playoffs.

    What happens years past is Lincecum would suck mid-season, then miraculously get better about the same time Cain starts to breakdown, so giants W/L record stayed about the same. I don't know if they plan this or it's biorhythms or what... but that's how its been for years and its how I predict it'll play out this year

    He is not overrated or underrated. He is rated correctly. Elite pitcher, but no Lincecum.
