Jays fans and media always overrate their defensive infielders who can't hit a lick. Goins, MacDonald, Kawasaki.
It's the Jays way.
Of course Carter is overrated - he is probably the most known Jay out of people who don't follow the Jays. He was likely the 5-6 best hitter on the WS teams. BUT, he also has one of the most memorable WS moments of all time so i can't blame people for over-rating him.
If Justin Smoak hits a bomb to win the 2017 World Series, lord knows I would remember that name.
