IMO the big MOTO hitter is usually a bit overrated in baseball. Its usually a 1B or DH who gets more credit than he deserves for the team's actual W-L record nabbing HRs off of scrub pitching and not provided much else either than O.
In the playoffs most MOTO hitters aren't as impactful as dominant pitchers. We've seen Team Japan win in a tournament format with great pitching, defense, and contact hitting (that is strong against power pitching, but no power hitters).
Cliff Lee's impact is underrated, Adrian Gonzalez's is overrated IMO.
