Re: MLB '10: The Show Official Team Ratings

I was actually agreeing with the mets fans..

No I know....I just responded to your quote in general.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Official Team Ratings

LOL yes. But really, how does a team with Pujols, Holliday, Wainwright, Carpenter, and two great minds in La Russa and Duncan only get 16th?

behind the Blue Jays?

Yeah, we got screwed. 20th in offense, 15th in pitching, while the cubs are 8th in pitching and 9th in baing (or 9th in pitching and 8th in batting)?

Re: MLB '10: The Show Official Team Ratings

St. Louis is too low, the Cubs are too high as usual. Brewers defense isn't that bad, it's actually pretty good and they scored the 3rd most runs in the NL last year and didn't get that much worse.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Official Team Ratings

The Mariners have the best defensive in my opinion, with one of the largest outfield in the game to cover. Also 19th in pitching? King Felix, Cliff Lee, and Aardsma warrant a much higher rating. Plus Safeco is a great pitchers park.

That being said, our offense may be even worse than 22nd...

Uhh. After Felix and Lee, there is literally nobody in the rotation. Rowland Smith? Erik Bedard who can't pitch more than 10 innings?

And even worse, their bullpen is so weak. Aardsma is all they have, but they don't have a bridge to him so there really is no point in having a good closer.

If a team had Halladay and Lincecum, but had a ridiculously injury prone starer, to go along with 2 unproven pitchers, do you think that warrants anything higher than 19th? Not to mention the weak and thin bullpen

Just don't think the dodgers are that high.

Cubs are always overated. Offense can be much better if someone steps in at 3rd. The offense doesn't stop at Pujols and Holliday. Guys like Ludwick(hurt for a good part of last year), Rasmus, Molina, and Skip have proven they are very good hitters.

Pitching is underated too. Carpenter and Wainwright were cy young guys last year. Throw in Penny and Lohse(hurt last year) and you have a top 5 rotation.

How can anyone with half a brain rate the Brewers pitching better than their batting? GTFO!

Rowland-Smith had a 3.60 ERA and was 11-7. I would not bash him. Teams can't just go out and buy the 3rd starter they want unlike a certain team in New York.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Official Team Ratings

Im happy about the Braves being 6th and all, but why do they keep puting the braves so low on defence, their not t hat bad at defence. we were 28th on 09 at one time on defence. what gives?

I'm gonna guess Matt Vasgersian is in charge of ratings since we know how much he loves St. Louis

Re: MLB '10: The Show Official Team Ratings

Nice to see the 'Stros got the 9th D. I like a steady fielding game. I can handle all the rest when I play my RTTS, but I can't do squat about my D aside from my player.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Official Team Ratings

Meh, the Cards got screwed last year as well in the rankings and it didn't stop them from being good in the game(though I did use Knight's rosters most of the year so maybe he adjusted for that). I won't make too much of this and am anxiously awaiting March 2nd to prove them wrong!

Re: MLB '10: The Show Official Team Ratings

Why are the Indians fans crying? Who do they have worth anything (that isn't a prospect) besides Sizemore & Choo?

Hafner who is healthy now, Peralta who was angry last year and now is much happier- more production will now come, Luis Valbeuna, Matt Laporta, Justin Masterson- 10 k's and shutout vs. Chicago, Jake Westbrook- Healthy, Kerry Wood and perhaps one of the best bullpens in the game now.....that about sums it up. OH and not too mention some of the top prospects in the game coming up this year.
