They where quick to drop Prince Fielder from silver to bronze & he's having a simular season to Stanton.

I could be the only one who could care less whether or not these updates make sense. A Stanton downgrade would definitely help me as I'm trying to complete the Marlins collection but I know I'll eventually be able to do it.

Hell they were quick to knock Votto from diamond and though he has had a bad year, he still is doing better than Stanton.

Tulos quick demotion made sense, he was awful to begin the year and he was never really deserving of being diamond in the first place as he was pretty mediocre last year and at the beginning of a pretty visible decline. Votto was coming off a massive year.

I think they were justified starting Tulo at diamond - he was still himself before he was traded to the Jays, and then he finished the season with a broken shoulder blade courtesy of Kevin Pillar's Titanium Chin. As far as a decline, I dunno - it was such a sharp change, you gotta feel like there's something wrong, as opposed to just being on the decline. Sadly, it's starting to feel like there will always be something wrong with Tulo (although he will always be "not Jose Reyes" - nobody can take that away from him!)

My point was just that they were quick to (correctly!) ID Tulo as "no longer deserving of his rank" whereas they seem oblivious to Stanton's struggles.

Oh - and Saunders hit another HR tonight. He has the fourth-highest slugging in the AL this season, fifth in OPS... Glad he's still a bronze!

EDIT: Saunders just homered again. It was against Ubaldo Jimenez though so I'm not sure whether it should count.

EDIT EDIT: Hat trick!! 3 HR, 8 RBI for the Bronze Bomber tonight! If they're not going to give Stanton's diamond to Cano, they should give it to Saunders.

Yeah I wasnt necessarily disagreeing with much. They are very erratic with changes, almost in a nonsensical manner. Saunders definitely deserves a boost.

His walk rate hasn't really taken much of a hit so why would they drop it? If you're looking for something to drop, its vision, not discipline.
