      Out of all them Victor is my fav. Even though is fielding isn't all there and runs like he has a fridge on his back!!!

      Watch out for JR Towles, he's a sleeper.

        Don't like Beckham. He's a punk kid who thinks he's the greatest thing to hit baseball since the bat. He just oozes cocky. Though that makes sense, look at their manager...

        Anyone else surprised Mauer's power numbers aren't higher? 28 homeruns last season, finally gaining the power that everyone thought he would eventually have. That may have to be something I edit when I get the game...

I cannot wait to see what crap rating they gave Brendan Ryan who should have won gold glove at SS last year.
          I say we just make ever Cardinal 99 overall, who's with me?

              The manager calls him borderline cocky. Sooner or later that's gonna come back to bite him. If he were with a different manager who encouraged players to play the game the right way, maybe he would change that. Unfortunately, at this moment, Ozzie Guillen is still manning that disaster of a team.

                I don't want to turn this into a Beckham debate, but Tim Kurkjian of ESPN has described Beckham as an Evan Longoria type. Being that he has a little cockiness to him (just enough to think that he belongs in the Majors) but very respectful of the game.

                I don't think his "cockiness" will "come back to bite him". Many agree that Beckham is a stud and fully expect him to explode this season.

                Clearly you have some reservations against the White Sox which I feel is clouding your judgement on Beckham.

                Back to the topic at hand...

                I'll be interested to see how much potential factors in on these ratings. I wonder how high they'll rate other highly regarded prospects from last season like McCutchen, Bailey, Beckham, Andrus, etc.

                  The list looks fine with me.

                  I love how every one of these threads turns into a //player from my team should be higher WTF!!!!//

                    Well of course. Our teams are the best in the majors and will win the world series until the end of time! So each player on our teams should be rated 100.

                      What the hell are you smoking? He is the COMPLETE opposite of what you described. I don't know if you just hate him because you are a Twins fan, or you are thinking of a different player, but he has got to be one of the nicest, humble, down to earth young players in the game. You must be thinking of Aaron Crow.

                      Just for kicks, even though his personality does not need any defending...







                      It's hard to NOT like this guy. He has a good sense of humor, and clearly has a lot of fun.

                        Not really, look at the overall rating gradient down the list. Mauer and McCann appear as the only "A" overall players on the player cards while Victor Martinez and Yadier Molina appear to be in the "A-" area (based on my estimates). After that Jorge Posada appears to be a B+ with everyone being in the B range.

                        The catcher position doesn't look very deep, which I think it represents how it is in real-life. You've got a few great/excellent catchers, then a few good ones, a lot of decent ones, and a bunch of average/below-average catchers.

As disappointing as his season was last year, it was actually a pretty good year especially for the offensively weak catcher position. Who got snubbed so hard for Wieters' spot in the top 9 of catchers? Whereas if Gordon Beckham is top 5 in 2B that means he'd be higher than some guys in the Utley, Kinsler, Pedroia, Cano, Brian Roberts, Ben Zobrist, Aaron Hill, Brandon Phillips group.
                          I was not suggesting Beckham was a top 5 2B, I was exaggerating that to compare to the exaggeration of Weiters being rated that high. Like "If Weiters is a top 10 C, then I must be a top 10 richest person in the world". Ya dig?

                            Yeah, but Matt Wieters is very conceivably a top 10 catcher. You might think he's only the 11th best catcher or so but it's not a huge stretch to put him in the top 10.

                              Oh, I'd say factoring in his defense, he's definitely a top 10 catcher.

                              Wait 'til next year!!!!
