MLB The Show 16 Player Ratings - Top Players at Each Position

Re: MLB The Show 16 Player Ratings - Top Players at Each Position

I think Goldschmidt should be a 99 if anyone, there's no weaknesses in his game for a first baseman. 1.005 OPS last year, 21 steals and a gold glove.

Starling Marte still a B and MLBTV Network show had him as best LF in the game by The Shredder. The Shredder, no bias....

The Shredder is a the 2142 Brian Kenny.

In what way is Wainwright underrated? His durability is a major issue and I'd be surprised if he is higher than 40 in durability.

Really? If he is going to get knocked for durability then why isn't Tulowitzki docked more for injuries.

Previous to last years freak achilles injury he was the league leader in innings pitched in 2013 and in the top 5 of that category in 2014.

I don't think he is nearly as fragile as you seem to think. If he is rated a 40 in durability then Tulowitzki must be a 10.

I don't know Brantley, Peralta and Upton might have things to say about that.

Regardless the overall calculation in The Show is going to be biased towards certain ratings. Marte may be a great player all around, but his power rating isn't going to be that high in game so his overall calculation will suffer. Move him to CF and his rating might go up as The Show calculates overall differently based on position.

Here we go again with all the ratings talk and arguing and complaining, never understand any of that when you can change the ratings to suit yourself anyway

The devs to sometimes work outside their established formula and give a guy a break so Wainwright could catch a break and get maybe something in the 50's but with the injury he had IRL I don't like his chances. The only starting pitcher I can recall who had an Achilles injury was Robert Person, same age as Wainwright, and he never pitched again.

Tulowitzki on the stream was shown with a 78 which might be a little high but not completely out of line for a guy who up 500+ plate appearances in 2015. Wainwright made 4 starts. From a Cardinal fan perspective I understand but he made 4 starts and blew out the Achilles on his plant foot.

I looked at Harvey and Fernandez who had similar injuries in 2014 to Wainwright's injury in 2015. Both Harvey and Fernandez had durability of 42 in the show 15.

I am not impressed with Upton, 26 HR and batted .251

Peralta is okay, but in my opinion, not up to Marte. The position that he plays best is LF. In this game, Centerfielders usually get an overall boost going from CF to LF and RF.

Peralta hit a bit more for average and had 17 HRs. Marte had 19 HRs last year and stole 30 bases, and won a gold glove. Forgot to add, he also won Wilson Defensive Player of the Year.

The Shredder operates without bias I don't always agree with The Shredder, but if it says what I want, I agree!

Re: MLB The Show 16 Player Ratings - Top Players at Each Position

I'm sorry but Jacoby Ellsbury is higher than an 82...and Masahiro Tanaka is definitely a 90 plus rated pitcher...injury played seasons should not negatively hurt them this much..

I'm a Yankees fan, and both of their ratings are fair.

Ellsbury is a top 3 CF in mlb...he was clearly hurt...look at stats before he got hurt....82 is crap and Tanaka is only 88...that's definitely not fair...he lead AL in WHIP and also pitched hurt...you'll see this year what's up and they'll have to update them...glad to hear your a fan tho!

Ellsbury is a looong way from a top 3 CF in the MLB. He's not even a top 3 CF in the AL East.

Ellsbury's highest OPS in the past 4 years was .781 back in 2013.

I would take any of these over Jacoby (not in any order):

• Mike Trout
• Andrew McCutchen
• Lorenzo Cain
• AJ Pollock
• Adam Jones
• Carlos Gomez
• Jason Heyward

Throw in Cespedes, Betts and Blackmon too.
