Gordon Beckham's hair, alone, should have rated him at #1.

Cano 2009

.320, 25 HR's, 85 RBI's, 200 Hits, 100 Runs, 48 Doubles, 130 OPS

Ian Kinsler is the most over rated player in the game. Let me know when he finally gets a hit outside of Texas. Pedroia wishes he was good as Cano. Hudson, Roberts and Kennedy above Cano? Are you F'ing kidding me?

ok, that was funny. i'll give ya that.


yes as a baseball-ite, cano not in the top ten is odd, really odd.

Lopez is grossly under rated as well.

Re: MLB`10 The Show Top 5 Second Basemen

Cano over the past 5 years is the second best 2b in baseball. Kinsler has done nothing outside of Texas, Zobrist has 1 season of excellence, Aaron Hill had an ok 2007 and a great 2009, Pedroia is a gamer but not better, Roberts, Kennedy, Hudson are nowhere close to being in Cano's league.

Cano

.320, 130 OPS, 25 HR's, 48 Doubles, 85 RBI's, 100 Runs, 200 Hits from the 7th spot of the lineup.

It shouldn't be a debate if Cano should be a top 9 2B or not. So I agree he's one of the best.

Personally I would take Pedroia over Cano just because of his defense and his better OBP.

I think Beckham should crack the top 9. That's not me being a homer. He projects to be playing average defense and to have a well above average bat with great slg for 2nd base. So I don't see he shouldn't be a top 9 2nd baseman. I think a line
of .285/360/470 isn't out of reach.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Top 5 Second Baseman

This is from the official team ratings explanation: Player ratings are not done by human hands its all done by a program that looks at the players past three years with the most recent year weighing in the highest.


Given Zobrist's career, which consists basically of one good year, I would say the most recent year is at least 75% of the ratings.

I wonder if this dynamic continues for 2011 and beyond in franchise mode. If a player has a bad year or gets injured will his ratings plummet?

Cano doesn't deserve top 5 after one good season.

Cano doesn't deserve top 5 after one good season.

So Zobrist and Hill do?....

Re: MLB '10: The Show Top 5 Second Baseman

To be fair: Zobrist had an out of the world 2009. He had the best WAR in all of baseball.

Yeah, because they're better.

Re: MLB`10 The Show Top 5 Second Basemen

Last 2 seasons:

R.Cano .297 AVG 83 2B 39 HR 157 RBI
D. Pedroia .311 AVG 102 2B 32 HR 155 RBI
J.Lopez .285 AVG 83 2B 42 HR 185 RBI

I think you Yankee fans are a little bias towards Cano. How come no mention for Jose Lopez??

JOSE LOPEZ?!?!?!

He doesn't play in New York!!!!!!

[Mr. Franchise]

Re: MLB`10 The Show Top 5 Second Basemen

Yeah, because they're better.
