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.Comment

Re: Overall Team Rankings
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.Comment

Re: MLB 11 The Show - Overall Team Rankings
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.Comment

Re: Overall Team Rankings
The A's are definitely top 20 in my opinion. Good Starting Pitching, good bullpen and some nice offensive additions.Comment

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

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.Ⓥ Boston Red Sox | Miami DolphinsComment

Re: MLB 11 The Show - Overall Team Rankings
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've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed"

Re: Overall Team Rankings
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.Last edited by mlblover15; 03-01-2011, 05:13 PM."Baseball is life, without Baseball life itself ceases to exist." - Ken SpragueComment

Re: MLB 11 The Show - Overall Team Rankings
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.Last edited by Mabster; 03-01-2011, 05:20 PM.Oakland Athletics San Jose Sharks
