MLB 15 The Show Player Rating Predictions

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Rating Predictions

I'm curious to see how they rate the Giant's Joe Panik after his stellar rookie season.

Yea you know I was hoping for a little higher than 74 as I think he is gonna be great. But maybe they just want to see more of him? Hopefully he does good from the get go and gets a attribute increase

Think the better question would be who will be the 99's this year..

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Rating Predictions

I'd be interested to see where Verlander is ranked, considering his awful season last year. Here are my best guesses, although in the past relievers have been rated lower across the board than I would have them.

Pitchers

SP D. Price (93)
SP J. Verlander (86)
SP A. Sanchez (85)
SP S. Greene (74)
SP A. Simon (72)

CL J. Nathan (70)
SU J. Soria (73)
RHP B. Rondon (68)
RHP A. Alburquerque (72)
RHP T. Gorzellany (71)
LHP I. Krol (67)
LHP B. Hardy (70)

Position Players

C A. Avila (73)
1B M. Cabrera (94)
2B I. Kinsler (87)
SS J. Iglesias (76)
3B N. Castellanos (72)
LF Y. Cespedes (89)
CF R. Davis (75)
RF J.D. Martinez (77)
DH V. Martinez (92)

C J. McCann (68)
SS/2B A. Romine (66)
CF A. Gose (70)
RF S. Moya (67)

I'd have to guess Miggy will be rated higher than a 94. I don't think his down year last season was enough to drop him 5 points. He was battling an injury, clearly wasn't himself, and still was 9th in the MLB in OPS.

They base ratings on the last 3 seasons (most recent year weighted the highest, but still). Miggy's last 3 seasons: .329/.401/.587 with 38 homers and 128 RBI's on average.


Also 89 for Cespedes seems very, very generous. I know he was an 88 last year and that was also generous. He doesn't get on base, and for a slugger his slugging % is shockingly low. He's already 29 and his last 2 seasons he's barely an above average hitter (107 OPS+). He strikes out 130 times a year (career 21% K rate). I'd give him an A potential but set his rating down at like 81-82 if it were me.

Trout & Kershaw, Rule of Two.
If Puig is a 99, I'd be mildly surprised.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Rating Predictions

That was my one question...what will MadBum be. Will they give him the proper respect he's due and have him up there or are they going to give him like a 93? We pretty much know the rest of the Giants stats. Personally think Belt should be a little higher. Feel like they don't give him enough credit on defense. I personally think he's a future Gold Glover.

Considering I think I saw Chris Sale as a 94, Bumgarner shouldn't even be a 93. If Sale is a 94, Bumgarner would have to be like an 87.

If Andrew McCutchen isn't 99, which we know isn't the case. Trout and Kershaw shouldn't be either. Cutch is just as good as both. Puig shouldn't even be in the conversation.

Ahh I'm a die hard pirates fan as well but I can see trout as a 99 and Cutch as more a 96-97.
Kershaw I think deserves a 98-99 but it's all apples and oranges really those three are all part of the very elite group of guys in baseball.

But you can agree that Cutch is superior to Puig, right?

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Rating Predictions

Lol @ Bumgarner being an 87...that's funny.

If Kershaw is a 98-99 he better goto a 77 in the playoffs

Bum should be around 90. 87-93 range.

And there should be no if about Kershaw. Anything other than 99 would be disrespectful. He is the best player in MLB.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Player Rating Predictions

My guesses for my team, the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ratings in parenthesis are ratings I noticed from the twitch stream from thursday.

--Rotation
SP Gerrit Cole 83 (88)
SP Francisco Liriano 82 (81)
SP AJ Burnett 76 (75)
SP Charlie Morton 76
SP Jeff Locke 74 (75)
SP Brandon Cumpton (76) [I personally don't expect to make the roster, would've guessed 70]

--Bullpen
CP Mark Melancon 84
RP Tony Watson 81
RP Jared Hughes 76
RP John Holdzkom 71
RP Bobby La Fromboise 66
SP/RP Vance Worley 74
[7th position unsure who it'd even be]

--Lineup
3B Josh Harrison 81 (87)
RF Gregory Polanco 76 (77)
CF Andrew McCutchen 97 (95)
2B Neil Walker 78 [82]
LF Starling Marte 84 (86)
1B Pedro Alvarez 70 [76]
SS Jordy Mercer 77
C Francisco Cervelli 68

--Bench
C Christ Stewart 65
1B Corey Hart 72
RF Andrew Lambo 70
UTIL Sean Rodriguez 67
SS Jung-Ho Kang 73 (won't be on original roster)

This is absolutely terrible. Let's start with the starting pitchers, everything is good but AJ will be higher, and cumpton won't make roster, that final spot is for Worley or Locke if Morton is not healthy, but if he is he will be the five starter. Now, the batting order, Walker certainly be a 78 after a season where he hit 20 plus homers and jhay with only an 81? He was second for NL batting title, literally played every position, played great defense, and hit for a little bit of power, also, cervelli is a good defensive catcher, and he hit 302 last year, it was only 50 games but he usually hits in the 270s which is good for a catcher, he will be high 70s. Also, bullpen is way off, Watson just went to the allstar game and had an era in the low 1's. Also, melancon is a bit higher, and laframboise won't be on the team. Holdzkom had a fantastic year and pitched well in his short time with the Bucs, he will be high 70s, also we picked up bastardo, and he and is a very good reliever and that wouldn't be 7th position, he'd be an 7th inning man, his overall would be in the 80s. Also , the bench is bad too. Corey hart didn't have a good yr last yr but from 2010-2013 he hit 26,27. And 31 homers in those years. He will be higher. Also, kang has great raw power and will be higher, and Stewart hit a quiet 280 last year and is good defensively, so he will be in 70s. Bad overall.
