Ratings Boost Predictions (6/17/16)

[PSimp21]

Doubtful Cano goes to Diamond, as stated above, based on the defense.

Stanton is deserving of a downgrade, but we will see if it happens.

Trumbo deserves a hitting upgrade.

Frazier deserves a hitting upgrade.

Yelich needs to go up to gold already.

My sleeper pick for a ratings boost would have to go to Jung Ho Kang. That guy almost reached his offensive stats from last year in a 1/3rd of the games.

I have to wonder if Stephen Piscotty will ever go gold, since he's been trending over 85 for most of the season (if not all season)

Does he deserve to get his defensive stats back? I feel he is rated exactly where he should be, or slightly even a touch high.

A lot of people on here expect for players to go up, but then never state which attribute should be upgraded, as a few have said before Cano, is pretty much right where he should be with contact and power, While a Guy like Yelich, Where would his upgrade come from, maybe a slight boost in contact on lefties, his power probably shouldn't be touched.
Todd Frazier also, has a ton of power on the game and low contact, His batting average in real life reflects that well, so not sure where the upgrade would come from.

Im a Tigers fan so im partial. I dont see how Ian Kinsler doesnt go up soon. He is quietly on fire. Nick Castellanos, deserves another hitting upgrade. Michael Fulmer is proving to be a good move (the first in a long time) for the Tigers. I would like to see him go up to atleast a low 80.

I hadn't realized how great Kinsler had been this season until another user mentioned that he should be rated the same or higher than Cano. I agree with that user. His Cont vs L should be higher considering he is dominating them with his .391 average. Also, his Pow vs R should go up as well. He has 11 HRs off them and it's only June. Can easily see him going to about a 90 OVR at least within the next couple of updates.

Castellanos is one of those guys that is having a sneaky good season but is in a sweet spot for the game. If his stats change, then maybe a slight increase to Cont vs R and a decrease to Cont vs L since he's had a rough time against them.
