MLB 15 The Show Top Rated Players at Each Position

Catchers are looking underrated this year. Salvador Perez at 82, lower than McCann? Mesoraco at 81?

I'm still glad Miguel's at 99 and Price at 92 sounds right.

Salvador should probably be a couple points higher based on what the other catchers got. And he should absolutely be higher than Wieters.

Ramone was talking about Gordon being the same as Upton. Maybe he can come through and get him raised up a couple more points. Interested to see what Cains defensive ratings are. He is the best defensive center fielder in the AL.

I feel Brett Gardner got shafted for top 10 left fielders

How Starling Castro a 3x all star is only an 80 boggles my mind. At least higher then Cabrera aybar and older Rollins. Escobar is to high.

Billy Hamilton an 81?!? From what I see, judging by outfielders and catchers, the speed rating has too much weight on the overall.

Ill agree Escobar is probably a bit to high. But i assume SS gets rated better for its defense. And Castro isnt all that great in that area. Which is what is bringing him down most likely. Move him to 1B and you would see his OVR climb.

Pablo Sandoval isn't on the Giants anymore and I'm still surprised he's not in the top 10...I feel like he definitely should be. Potential Gold Glover and Good hitting and some power.

But glad to see Posey at the top of Catchers and to see MadBum and Pence up there!

Anthony Rendon finished in the top 5 in MVP voting yet isn't even a top 5 3B?

Also looks like Bryce Harper will be in the 70's

I never know why people put so much stock into overall ratings.

Updated the OP with a link to a cleaner look and easier access.

Not that it matters, since ratings can be changed and all that, but I'm kind of surprised Sandoval isn't a top 10 3rd baseman, in terms of "overall".

In that same vein, somewhat surprised that Brian McCann is still a top 10 catcher, apparently.

Billy Hamilton? He and his .254 career batting avg. is a better CF then Adam Eaton, Marcell Ozuna, Dexter Fowler? just to name a few. And Cabrera is still overrated, he can hit for sure but can't run, field or throw so him being a 99 is just wrong.

Different positions weight stats differently. Reason Hamilton is rated higher is because of his speed/fielding ability mainly. Same with Cabrera, I've heard Nick say in the streams that high power and contact are weighted much more at 1st than other positions. You make Cabrera a RF and he's probably not a 99, similar with Hamilton. Make him a 2nd baseman as an example, and he takes a ratings hit.
