I would agree for the most part. He should be very highly rated in arm strength (the highest for 2B by a long shot), rated well in arm accuracy, but not exceptional. He should also be rated very highly for reaction time. However, he still makes a lot of errors, so his fielding rating shouldn't be elite yet.

I can agree with that

Yeah i agree, the ratings that surprised me the most were Eddie Rosario's 59 arm and Gary Sanchez's 77 arm both have a cannon, Eddie was the leader in assist in 2015 among LF and despite his limited playing time in 2016 he's still #2 in assist among LF the past 2 years and even without stats there's enough videos of him showing his arm, Gary threw 41% and i have seen a lot of people say that he has one of the strongest arms among all active catchers, even Teixeira said that he has the best arm of all the catchers he has played with, his pop time is usually in the 1.8 or 1.9 range which is among the best and he had 5 of the 10 hardest throws among catchers despite his limited playing time too.

Maybe they change when we get the first roster update , but I hope they fix some of this stuff.

Trayce Thompson's speed is about a 55 or so which is graded to about an average to below average runner. That I would say is highly inaccurate. I would say he is at least a plus runner at a minimum of an 80. Not much of a base stealer, but he is a legit athlete getting around the bases quickly with those easy, long strides.

Jros,

I took a good long look at the roster and there were a few that jumped out at me:
TOR Ryan Goins 72
MIN Jorge Polanco 56
SEA Guillermo Heredia 64
TEX Jurickson Profar 64
HOU Teoscar Hernandez 76

Thanks

Byron Buxton's speed for the twins = 92. Definitely should be 98 or 99. Fastest home to home in MLB last year, along with having most of the top home to second times as a righty.
