Re: Top 10 Players at Each Position in MLB The Show 17

I'd take Bryant, Arenado, or machado over him any day.

Donaldson ...... rapes and pillage pitchers.

In that case, I'm SURE I'd rather have Arenado or Machado

Not that theres anything wrong with that.

Donaldson over Arenado??? Not a chance

Yeah I would take Arennado too over Donaldson. I suppose they are taking the MVP Donaldson into account, but if you switched those 2 players out and put Donaldson on Rockies and Arenado on a team like the Jays who have been good, then Arenado probably has a MVP and Donaldson wouldnt. Both are very good players, but Id take Arenado over Donaldson any day, again both are great players.

Im curious to see what some others top players are rated at, I could probably argue for a couple others being in that list, but thats more on opinion than the list being wrong.

Donaldson for mayor of Toronto.

Donaldson for King of Canada.

fixxed
The only thing I dislike about Donaldson is where he chose to spend his college days.

I'm a Cubs fan for life, for 35 years and counting. I am forever going to be a Kris Bryant fan, just like I'll forever be a fan of every single player that was a part of the Cubs roster in 2016. I would totally take Arenado or Machado as easily as Bryant if I was a GM. Donaldson not as much, but just due to his age. (he was a Cub prospect at one point, by the way)

Did not want to start a new thread for this but will Jose Fernandez be in the game this year?

I haven't seen an answer to this unless i missed it elsewhere.

A "tad" off-topic, but this question was asked about 20 times in the stream, and I could feel part of Ramone dying inside every time he said "no, he is not in the game".

Re: Top 10 Players at Each Position in MLB The Show 17

Why would people even ask that question? He won't be in MLB in 2017 obviously. They take out guys who retire why wouldn't they take out someone who literally died?

Because some people in this forum are "special"..especially the ones saying that Arenado is better than Donaldson jk.

Some people aren't aware of how the process works. It was a harmless question. Yeah, you could say he literally died, but some people were curious if he would still be in using the year to year saves feature which I think may have been the poster's intent here.

Re: Top 10 Players at Each Position in MLB The Show 17

3 year average man.

He was great last year but the year before he was 9-15 with an era of 4.92 and the year before that he was 15-13 with a 3.43

Those years account for 50% of his rating.

This.

The one thing I am curious about is how they figure it out for guys like Aaron Sanchez. Last year was his first time starting all year and he led the AL in ERA (3.00). The two years before that he was primarily used as a reliever (92 and 33 IP) but still had very good stats (3.22 and 1.09 ERA). Not saying they got it wrong, will just be curious as to what is affecting his overall to not have him in the top. Maybe stamina? Or maybe his BB/9 rate. Will be interesting nonetheless!

Lets see him do something outside Coors then we can talk.

[Godgers12]

And no Edwin Diaz? Definitely a top 10 closer based on last season.

Re: Top 10 Players at Each Position in MLB The Show 17

And the rating wars begin.
I just don't put that much emphasis into the overall rating. I look at the attributes more than the overall plus you can usually pick up some decent talent during the season on a C or D potential player as well by looking at their attributes and save some budget along the way. Donaldson over Arenado, Arenado over Donaldson.......it's one point......I would gladly take either of them.
