Looks to me like they cut down some of the Phillies' ratings in order to keep the team overall below the Sox, Yanks, Giants and Rangers.

LOL at George Sherrill being rated above Kimbrel and Venters.

Wow, J-Roll's salary is higher than his real-life contract, and Howards is 25% of this year's.

You're absolutely right. God forbid there is a team that is better than the Yankees which the Phillies are. Ryan Howard is too low, Domonic Brown and Ben Francisco are too low, and John Mayberry Jr. is also way too low. That's fine though. I can always edit them to where they should be.

I don't care if the Giants did win the World Series (fluke win). They should not be rated higher than the Phillies.

I have to agree with ya. The Yankees don't have the pitching this year to compete with the Red Sox or Phillies. The Giants offense happened to get hot at the right time and with their pitching staff that's all they needed to happen. The Rangers will be good again but when you subtract Cliff Lee their pitching looks very suspect. I was also surprised at how low Oswalt seems to be rated. Seems like he should be just a notch below Halladay and Lee. After all, prior to joining the Phillies he was the ace of a staff that was pretty good in its prime.

How does Utley find himself above Halladay...?

Another good question... some of these rosters have me scratching my head.

Yup, that's another one. I'm not maxing their stats out by any means, but I'm going to make sure the correct players are in realistic ratings spots.

Personally, I think the top 3 should be in this order:
Roy Halladay
Cliff Lee
Chase Utley

Also, I remember watching an interview with Russell saying that last year injuries affect ratings this year. If that's the case then Jimmy Rollins shouldn't be ranked #4. He had the injury bug bad last year, and only played in about 82 games or something like that.

Like I said, thank God for editiing.

I found that odd as well. Utley and Rollins are rated way too high and it looks like Howard a bit lower than he should be. Ryan Madson shouldnt be that high either. Everyone else looks about where they should be. If Brown continues to play at the same level he has all through last year, winter ball and so far in ST he needs to be rated a lot lower than what he is.

I'm fine with Howard being lower than last year, he straight killed me!

Not to mention Victorino being rated higher than Ryan Howard. What is that all about? I love Shane, but he shouldn't be higher than the big man. Neither should Jimmy.

victorino perhaps is rated higher because of his superb fielding and basepath skills. I will be interested to look this up when I get the game, but I bet he out rates howard in everything but power, contact, and maybe plate discipline.

I agree, some of the ratings for the Braves seem a bit off. Kimbrell and Venters low rating was a bit disappointing
