      Re: MLB 11 The Show - Overall Team Rankings

      it's not hard at all to see why the giants are rated higher than the phillies. it's the same reason they are better in real life, as well.

      starters (including blanton) are overall just about equal to the giants starting 5.

      giants have a huge advantage in the bullpen, with wilson and a mix of great relievers like affeldt, romo, lopez, casilla, etc. while the phillies pen seems like their weak link.

      phillies are probably ranked better offensively, but not by much, considering they lost werth and guys like rollins and utley were not so good last year and are getting older.

        The Padres at 20th. The bullpen must be the main driving factor to why they're not 25th or lower.

        It's kind of funny, the team trades away Adrian away and they get better. If he stayed, they would probably be 30th and have not improved at the middle infield positions or centerfield.

        I won't complain. the rankings are a reflection of the overall ratings of all the 25-man roster players, with the starting position players and starting pitcher having the most influence.

          Philly has a great rotation but their offense took a huge hit losing Werth and their bullpen is weak at best.

          Philly's outfield is near the bottom of the league and whoever listed Rollins and asked who has someone better at SS is crazy. Rollins is a career .272 hitter that has been declining in huge steps since 2007.

          The Rangers have one of the top offensive lineups in the game and a solid rotation. Actually kind of easy to see them rated higher than Philly.

          Giants I can see them giving them some love being the defending champs but I think they had one of those magical seasons last year and are probably over rated. However, they do have a solid rotation and a decent offensive lineup.

              The A's are definitely top 20 in my opinion. Good Starting Pitching, good bullpen and some nice offensive additions.

                Ha! Finally some D-Town love

                My other 2 teams (SF and CHC) are pretty much where I expected.

                  Pretty good offense, potentially great rotation, and a lights out bullpen. Solid team all around!

                  Add in the likes of V-Mart, Benoit, power arms like Zumaya/Perry in the pen etc, we have a real shot this year.

                    You have to also remember, most of these ratings are separated by a very slim margin. And take into account the entire roster (40-man) from bench to bullpens.

                      How the heck are the Giants ranked so high!?!??!

                      They have two aces and a good young catcher with a top 3 closer. Outside of that they are trash how the heck are they rated so high.

                        I dont know about you my fellow A's fan, but i see us on paper and see maybe our best team talent wise in a decade. our depth is very good too. i think that with our new strength and conditioning coach on board maybe we can not spend as much time counting player visits to the DL but counting wins.

                        being ranked in this game as high as we are (8TH AL, 16th over all) is a big plus... i see good things for us both in the game and IRL.

                          The Brewers thrive on mediocrity. Nice to see them nestled right in at #15.

                            Which would you consider those two to be? They could have three. MadBum is going to be better then Cain.
                            They may be World Champs but they got those rings because they got hot at the right time and that's what matters most in the playoffs. They obviously got bumped up because of their last years finish. I guess I don't have a problem with that.

                              I agree. They have something special brewing but haven't proven it on the major league level consistently enough for them to be ranked higher. Anybody could make an argument for that middle group of teams, 10-20ish to be in any kind of order. They finished exactly in the middle last year and with another year under the belts of the young guns, and the offensive improvements they made, could have put them higher then 16th overall.

                                On paper I would agree with that (save perhaps 2006), but you usually don't see the A's getting that kind of love on a video game, especially with the lack of power they still have. In real life, I wouldn't be as optimistic. I am really hoping they do something about the injury bug that has plagued the team for years now. And don't forget that on paper Bob Geren doesn't have the same ill affect on the team that he has in real life. If they rated managers as well, then Geren would have to be ranked somewhere between 75-100. That's right. Every manager, most teams' bench coach, hitting coach or pitching coach would be rated higher than that umpa lumpa. I can't wait to sim the first season so that I can create a save where I can fire him after every single game I watch in real life.
