    Re: MLB 09: The Show Team Rankings (Pasta Padre)

    My Angels seem to be pretty fairly rated, although i do think the Red Sox are too high on Defense and Pitching

        Aside from the fact that ratings are subjective, as I recall too fellas, the team ratings are based on the player ratings. Meaning that a team with high priced talent and more proven veterans (like the Yankees and Red Sox, for example) would make an obvious appearance near the top. There are a lot of teams with "what if" type prospects who should be good, but there is no data to back it yet.

        Also, if they are going on a 3 year sample for player ratings, it means some guys who were beasts last year might not be represented in that same light now, causing ratings to dip and effecting team overalls. Remember, a great year last year, doesn't mean a great year this year (say hello to your Colorado Rockies...lol). that's why they go farther back with their samples.

        I wouldn't really worry. I've yet to play a sports game where the top 5-10 teams are guaranteed anything. Plus, I'm sure for those patient enough, Knight's roster will have you covered for general consensus type gripes.

              Anyone who thinks the Red Sox don't have the best pitching staff is completely wrong. They really do have the best. Beckett, Lester, Matsuzaka, Smoltz, Penny are the starters. In the bullpen they have Wakefield, Delcarmen, Ramon Ramirez, Masterson, Okajima, Saito, and Papelbon. In the minors they have Buchholz, Bowden, Zink, and Tazawa. The Yankees do have pretty good pitching, but I actually don't think they should be 2nd haha. Sabathia is pretty good, and so is Wang. But.. uh Burnett.. no. He is NOT good hahahah everyone thinks he's great. Pettite is even better than him. Does anyone realize that Burnett's ERA was over 4 in 2008? Matsuzaka, the Boston 3rd starter was 2.90. Yeah Yankee fans, don't get all excited about Burnett. Pettite is okay. Chamberlain is pretty good, but the Yankees are ******** for wanting him to start. In the bullpen they have no one besides Rivera. NO ONE. Edwar Ramirez? Brian Bruney? Marte? yeah ok none of them are good. They should have Hughes be the 5 starter and Chamberlain set up man. But still, the Yankees have 3 guys that are capable of being aces (Chamberlain the 3rd), and the Red Sox have 6! the 5 starters I named and Buchholz. and they have an INSANE bullpen. So people shouldn't complain about the Yankees being behind the Red Sox in pitching, when they shouldn't even be in the top 5. The hitting and defense I do understand and I think they did that nicely.

              Another thing haha, I hope the Yankees do get Manny because he will just corrupt the clubhouse even more than it will be already, and it will be funnier to watch them lose with a total all-star team. Money can't buy chemistry. Teixeira can't handle that kind of pressure, to play in New York infront of all of those jerks. They probably will get Manny too, because Swisher straight up sucks. He is terrible hahaha. So yeah, I'm a Red Sox fan clearly, but I do give the Yankees credit on some things, but not pitching at all.

                    This post will probably be looked over since people want to scroll and see where they team is ranked and post "but my team had X stats and ranked X in blah blah last season!!!one!"

                    I believe that these ratings ratings are based on the ratings of the players, not on where the team finished up in whatever offensive, defensive, or pitching categories last season. Plus, you have to consider this in comparison to the ratings of players on other teams.

                    For offense and defense, I think it's based on who is on the team's starting lineup at the moment. Pitching is both the rotation and bullpen.

                      MARLINS 25th. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! I'm going to break something. This is insanity. We have the best starting pitching in the NL east. OH GOD, someone help me, I'm ready to explode. Obviously SCEA needs to hire me as an unbiased advisor.

                        Can someone from SCEA please email me immediately, I'm freaking out. How can you kick a guy when he's down. First the idiots in government deny us a new stadium and then I see this. Please SCEA email at [email protected], I need to convince you to reconsider. I mean we have Uggla, Hanley, Maybin, Cantu, and then the best starting 5 in the east. GUYS PLEASE

                          my dodgers seem to be pretty middle of the road for the most part (i'm assuming theyre not taking Manny into account).

                          but that'll change once i put ME in the road to the show mode! we'll be winning the WS in no time....

                          well, after some training of course.

                            lol...(picturing indignant Phillies fans coming at miamimarlins1 with pitchforks and torches)

                            I honestly wouldn't get too bent out of shape about ratings. They're based (as I said before, and I'm pretty confident on this) on player ratings, not some dig at the team.

                            Remember (again repeated from before...lol) teams with younger, unproven players making up a large part of the team will likely not stand up (data wise) to a team with more veteran or big name talent.

                            Come off the ledge...lol...everything is editable in this regard

                              Seriously, you need to calm down. Overall rankings are based on the ratings of the individual players. If you disagree with them, edit your players and bump them up. Problem solved.

                              It's not the end of the world.

                                Oh yeah, this coming from the guy who's Reds somehow weaseled their way into the top 10. Reds at #10 is even more insane then the Marlins at 25
