Lol at people here thinking Nelson Cruz should be Diamond...

His DH defense won't allow him

Go into the roster editor and see what it would take to get him to 93. It's honestly not a far fetched amount. The Show overall does not equal real life player value. If you get his offensive ratings to where his 2015 splits show he could be a 93. That is the argument. Not that he deserves to be called a diamond quality player, but a diamond quality player in terms of The Show's rating system.

Why should his ratings be up to exactly 2 month 2015 splits? Miguel Cabrera has been doing it for a decade

Joc Pederson is now overall 83!

62,60, 90, 82 power!

Meaning there's no need to sub him out against lefties now!

Well the argument that was used was All Star voting which imo is ridiculous. Now if you want to make the case using actual statistics that the players are putting up that's a completely different story.

Goldschmidt did go up. I'm actually surprised that happened. I bought him two days ago for 19k so that may have been my best move so far. None of the pitchers went to diamond but kluber went up two spots. I sucked with him my first time using him but I'm tempted to try again. I don't know what sonny Gray has to do to get an upgrade but it's ridiculous.

No one was arguing he should be rated at what Miggy is. They just said that if Miggy can be a bat first player and be a 99, why can't Cruz be one and be at least a 93. Miggy is rated 99, likely above 99 based on what the devs have said in the past regarding how the overall rating is calculated.

If you look at the ratings increases/decreases this year there have been plenty of players who got significant upgrades when their track record is questionable. Look at Kipnis and how offensively is is basically rated the save vs RHP as Cano. Yet Kipnis put up less than replacement value in 2014 and Cano has been an MVP candidate throughout his career.

The ratings increases lately though have been pretty lackluster and conservative so I don't expect any movement on Cruz or many of the other players everyone and myself as well have been saying could go up. It's why I don't "invest" in cards since the profits aren't guaranteed like other methods of making stub profit.

Apparently, Betances will never be upgraded!
