MLB 15 The Show Power Rankings: Pitchers and Catchers Report Edition

**jdlsantos** · 02-20-2015, 01:43 AM

I like how after the writer of this article EXPLAINED that the list is about playing with teams in MLB The Show 15, people are STILL up in arms with torches and rakes. Smh lol.

With that said the Yankees in the top 15? Besides Tanaka this team still looks boring as hell to play with.

yeah exactly

while I disagree about a few things on that list, I am sure if ANYONE did their own list there would be everybody complaining that there team is to high or to low.

as for MLB the show going by ratings yeah Yankees will always be in top 10 because all the time they are overrated big names who never perform (and I am a yankees fan)

Yea he didn't say anything in the OP but he did say it here.

First, I'll reiterate that this isn't a traditional power ranking. This is teams that people are going to want to play with in The Show based off of numerous things (ie why I mentioned stadiums in the article). So when people laugh at the Cubs ranking, I'm not actually saying the Cubs are the second best team in baseball. That's absurd.

Second, I actually love the Brew-Crew moving forward. I love teams that rely on power for offense. I'm a big fan of Gomez and I think Segura bounces back this year. I also really like the Pirates. But neither team made a huge splash this offseason, and I think that makes them less inviting to play with in MLB: The Show.

This is unfortunately true. I honestly didn't mean to confuse anyone, I just assumed that when I'm mentioning things like "fun to play with", "an exciting team", and "they've got a great stadium" that people would kind of understand where my rankings were coming from.

Obviously, that was not the case haha. I'll make sure to be more precise on the next list I do!

Ben....better that your article prompted much discussion than one that had just a few ho-hum replies!

So disappointed with the Orioles front office this off-season. Their failure to address pitching and replace Markakis & Cruz is going to make this a long season.

This is also true! I love the discussion. Like I said earlier, it's nice to have something to hold me over until Spring Training/The Show comes out.

If these are ranked by "exciting factor" then fine, I get the Cubs being near the top, that makes sense. But that still doesn't explain how the White Sox and Padres are so low. They each had arguably the best offseasons this winter. If we are going "exciting factor" that people will want to have fun with, I'd rank the White Sox, Cubs, Padres, Dodgers, Marlins, Red Sox as the top 6 teams. They did the most exciting things this offseason, in my opinion.

And just by signing Yasmany Tomas, I'd move the Diamondbacks off of the #30 ranking. Tomas and Kang as the most exciting INT'L talent this year, IMO.

That's a good point, Cool. And the more I look at the list, the more I think I should have flipped the Phillies with the 'Backs, who at least have Tomas and Goldy.

**jcmreds** · 02-20-2015, 08:38 PM

"Billy Hamilton and Joey Votto are the extent of what's exciting about the Reds."

You ever head of Aroldis Chapman and Johny Cueto?

**catswithbats** · 02-20-2015, 08:42 PM

The Tigers have one advantage the Phillies don't: their GM isn't RAJ.

The OS forum at his best,meaning arguing... often for the sake or arguing. Wait till the game comes outon the 31st. The mob will invade this forum like mad wolves and start bitchingabout the game. PLAY BALL ! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o

I think the Phillies, Braves, and Twins are by far the least exciting teams this upcoming seasons.
