Perez did not have a full season until 2013. Picking and choosing? 2013 and 2014 is picking and choosing--the first two full seasons in the majors for Perez.

Of course you don't want to look at 2013 and 2014 and see how Perez blocked pitches better than Posey. I can well understand that.

Have a nice day!

I'm not all that crazy for RPP either since it takes into account passed balls & I feel PB's should be used in calculating catcher Fielding. But at least it's a positive step in the right direction.


EDIT After more deliberation on the matter the best way to determine a catchers block rating is if blocked pitches were kept as a stat. Then you would calculate BP/WP (Blocked pitches divided by wild pitches).

To be fair, I looked at some ratings last night and saw that Russell Martin had a decent blocking stat, but he is among the worst in RPP.

agreed on Bryant and Schwarber being underrated... Sad thing!

Lol Bryant is what 85 already and why should Schwarber be a top ten lf?

85 is plenty high enough for Bryant's debut on a default roster. The man's game has plenty room to grow. If he hits over .300 with 30 homers & gets his WAR up to 7 or 8 then bump him into the 90 range. IMO

Curious to see how these Flashback cards get rated. Will Prime cards be rated based on that Prime year or will it still be 3 previous years.

I like seeing this every year before game comes out. Mostly agree with the ratings.
