It's funny watching everyone say who they want upgraded. I do it a lot as well. The funnier thing though is that most of the players people want upgraded are good players that get hot for a month, which is fine to want them better. The real travesty in all of it is that a guy like Kevin Keirmaier who is leaps and bounds the best defensive player in baseball right now gets no love for his arm, speed, fielding (~80's) and reaction (~80's). He should be at least low to high 90's in all these categories except arm accuracy, probably mid 80's). On top of it he's hit .287 and slugged .416 in his last 30 games. Not incredible numbers, but better then his 61/49 contact and 44/29 power numbers. I'm saying all this, not to beat a dead horse that we do every week, but to say that the real weakness in player ratings is that the focus is almost solely on someone's hitting. One thing that would make this game so much better is if they really focused on the details like defense and pitch types. Details is what makes baseball what it is and these missing details hurt this game at times IMO. Sorry for the long post, but hope it makes people think past offensive number boosts and more about player overall accuracy.
