MLB '10: The Show Top 5 Shortstops

Re: MLB'10:The Show Top 10 SS

I like the fact that Alexei Ramirez is getting love, but no way is Jose Reyes better than Hanley Ramirez (I could see them being equal). If that's the case, Jeter should NEVER be considered equal with either of those two players (The pic looks like that's what he is, I could be mistaken).

With all the Yankee fans clamoring about Ian Kinsler being overrated, what say you in regards to Jeter? I admit he's a great player and has been for his career and should be considered in the top 10. Do you see him at the same level as Hanley Ramirez?

Russell. Seriously?

All of the pic's of Yunel and he's not even top 5? Good defense + electric arm (better than Furcal), and his 3-year average is .301 BA /.426 Slugg /.801 OPS

C'mon!!

Spoiler

Trying to cover the man love, eh?

Jeter is alright. Good contact, average power. I think his fielding is a bit high, but what do you gonna do?. Jeter had a great year 2009. He deserves it. His plate discipline is even a bit underrated. He had a .406 OBP, thats great for a non-power hitter.

Re: MLB'10:The Show Top 10 SS

Hanley Ramirez is by far the best overall player in major league baseball. This game takes defense into account WAY too much. If you were starting a franchise would you rather have Hanley who is a career .316-27-82 hitter or Reyes who is a career .286-13-67.
Yes, I know a computer program does the ratings but wouldn't you think there should be at least some human intervention, so this doesn't happen. Hanley is top 3 players in the game with Mauer and Pujols, how isn't he higher than Reyes

I would probably take Ramirez too...but they are two completely different players. Ramirez is extremely dangerous but when Reyes is playing well, there are few players that can cause more trouble for the opposition.

And defense is far more important than you are making it out to be.

Good list with a few slight tweaks needed but good none the less.

Re: MLB'10:The Show Top 10 SS

It rips the heart right out of my chest that we've done 3 of these now and I still have yet to see a Brewer.

Can we do Left Field next so I don't feel like jumping off a building anymore?

Re: MLB'10:The Show Top 10 SS

I'm a little confused about how the ratings work now. According to SCEA it is based on the past three years with the most recent year getting most of the weight in the ratings. That explains Zobrist being rated so high at second base after only one good year in the majors.

But if that's the standard, how does Reyes get a 90 durability and 98 speed after playing in only 36 games last year due to injuries?

I don't get it.

It could be worse. I will probably use the Pirates again and the only guy they will probably have in the top ten is their injury prone catcher.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Top 5 Shortstops

not a bad list, jeter's fielding and power are way too high, reyes discipline and durability is too high, hanleys fielding is low, jeters discipline and vision should be higher than reyes

Re: MLB '10: The Show Top 5 Shortstops

Something I don't understand:

Jeter LT Power = 47
Hanley LT Power = 66

Last 3 years HR's against Lefties:
Hanley: 09: 1 HR 08: 3 HR 07: 8 HR
Jeter: 09: 6 HR 08: 4 HR 07: 2 HR

Where does this 19 point difference in Power vs lefties come from?

Re: MLB'10:The Show Top 10 SS

Missing 122 games in your previous season should always knock your durability a fair bit.

Wrong.

Durability = # of games a player is capable of starting/playing in a season.

So you're telling me after 4 seasons of 155+ games and then one season where he plays only 40, he's no longer capable of playing 150 games anymore? Dude.... That's what the rating is about.

---

Also, for those wondering why Hanley isn't #1... Hanley Ramirez and Jose Reyes have the same overall rating. Just like last year when people were drawing up a *****storm over Adrian being "rated" higher that Albert Pujols because they had the same overall. Base it on overall, not the number they appear in order because it takes name into consideration when they're even.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Top 5 Shortstops

Going to sound like a homer here, but how the heck is Yunel Escobar not in the top 9?

He's solid on D, probably has the best arm in baseball for a shortstop. Hits close to .300, 20 HR power.

What else does he need to do?
