Which players do you think are not given the credit they deserve?

I know that Bronson Arroyo has both a Sinker and a Slider

Wang has a Sinker too

and Where is Fransico Cordero's Split-Fingered Fastball?

I'm pretty sure Coco doesn't have a split fingered fastball, many people ball it that but it's a change up, it was discussed on FSN ohio one game and they said they talked to Coco about it and he said it was a change.

Chris B. Young... though I suppose I understand why he has such low ratings. Made his debut in late '06, Power Pros had '07 starting season rosters/stats when it was released (as far as I know).

Bronson Arroyo's Curve Ball should be a Slow Curve Ball.

Wang does have a SIFB, which seems to be the pitch corresponding to hard sinkers (90+mph) in real life. HSNK is for the slower type (high 80s) with more break.

Compare Halladay/C.Zambrano (SIFB) with Webb/Lowe (HSNK).
