Re: MLB10 The Show Top 5 Catchers.

What! Where is Kurt Suzuki? Haha just kidding. A's fans think way too highly of him, but given the inconsistency of the rest of the team, it is certainly understandable to dote highly on Zuk. Those ratings all look pretty good.

Wow, Wieters in the top 10 after only 96 games in the bigs.

I sure hope Gordon Beckham got the same kind of respect at second base.

Those rating are spot on.

Yadier coming in at #3.

Oh and is anyone shocked that Mauer is #1? He's on the cover..

There are a lot more good second basemen than catchers though so the ranking is deceiving for Wieters. Utley, Kinsler, Cano, Pedroia, Brian Roberts, Brandon Phillips, Aaron Hill, etc. Gordon is really good though, but he probably won't crack the top 9 just because 2B is much deeper than catcher.

Wieters is gonna be a stud.

[foocards88]

Wow, has anyone at Sony ever see Yadi play defense? A 76 in arm accuracy? How many baserunners did he pick off with dart like accuracy throws to Pujols at first this year? And all the 12-6 curves he picked out of the dirt last year from Waino and Carp. And you give him an 84? Definitely first thing I'm doing is editing ratings. I cannot wait to see what crap rating they gave Brendan Ryan who should have won gold glove at SS last year.

Wieters, Top 10? Give me a break. Let him play a full season and get back to me then.

I do have to say I agree with the drop off from Mauer and the rest of the pack. More ratings should be done this way.

Matt Weiters is rated AWFULLY high. If Weiters is that high on the catchers list, then I expect Gordon Beckham to be like a top 5 2B....wow.

I think Wieters is rated where he should be. As disappointing as his season was last year, it was actually a pretty good year especially for the offensively weak catcher position. Who got snubbed so hard for Wieters' spot in the top 9 of catchers? Whereas if Gordon Beckham is top 5 in 2B that means he'd be higher than some guys in the Utley, Kinsler, Pedroia, Cano, Brian Roberts, Ben Zobrist, Aaron Hill, Brandon Phillips group.

I would say that Beckham could very well become a top 5 second basemen next year. He'll be a top 10 guy this year, most likely. As he should be, the kid's legit.

Wieters had his struggles when he first came up, but towards the end of the year he really turned it on. I watched that dude throw out Carl Crawford twice in the same game, something I've never seen before. He's going to hit, there's no question about that. You can just see it - he's got a great eye, he identifies pitches well, he has great plate coverage, and best of all he's got easy power. He'll be a top 5 catcher next year barring injury.
