    He Defense is very good, top 3 IMO, but maxed out? I wish they were more conservative with their ratings. I like Madden's new approach to rating where you only have a 99 in something if it is HOF status. I hate seeing guys with 99 power, speed, arm strength, ect.
    Well maybe not maxed out, but you know his defense will be superior to A-Gone's and Morneau's which helps put him ahead of the two.

      A-Gone is the best fielding 1B IMO. Texiera #2 probably, and then then Morales, Morneau, and Lee in the #3-5 spots.

        Tough to be superior to Adrian, unless Adrian's defense is a B+/A- range.

        Also, keep in mind Lee had the inside track on plate vision over Adrian, as well as speed and baserunning ability/aggressiveness.

          In all honesty, I think Adrian should be ahead of Lee. However, I can see why Lee might be rated ahead of him.

And any Cardinals fan that gets to watch Albert knows he's an aggressive baserunner and a smart one. I know he doesn't steal bases which are what those ratings do if they are high so you can't do that and have Albert steal 40 bases. But maybe just have ratings such as intelligence?
              He's an aggresisve baserunner, and most times a smart one. I don't get why he doesnt' have a new stance. If this is from the final build, then I haven't seen more than 2 different stances (Mauer and Span), and no new ones for people who need them.

                I hate not seeing Morneau even in the top 9. But Aside from the 45 hr's each year from Ryan Howard, I don't really see him as anything special, when he strikes out one-third of the time at the plate. His average did come to me as a bit of surprise though.

                        Adrian Gonzalez is a two time defending gold glover at first (won last two years) and plays in a pitcher's park. No one in the world hit more homeruns on the road last year.

                          Adrian Gonzalez is a .310 hitter on the road, Petco kills him.

                          09 splits
                          H: .244/.413/.446 12 HR

                          Dude's a beast.

                          Also, loving the two toned bats.

                            Nice find!
                            Agreed. Tex is the best defensive first baseman in baseball period.

                              Both are IMO...but who would go by stats and scouting reports only?..oh ...yeah...THE REAL MLB.

                              No because it wouldnt be 99's, it would be more like 99, 97, 97, 96, 95, etc. The ratings bar makes it seem like all 99's though. The ratings bar just seems like an energy or stamina bar. I just cant stand them displaying ratings that way. Is frustrating to have to go into each player to check their rating on something

                                I was not aware of these stats on Adrian Gonzalez, point made and case closed. I think all I would do is drop Youkilis, move Adrian to his spot and put Morneau at least at 9 if not above Berkman and Lee.

                                But that is what is nice about games, we can adjust to how we see fit.
