That leads to a lower slugging.

I wasn't knocking arod. He is still a great hitting 3B.
But, do you think he will be able to duplicate 2007 anytime again in his career? I don't, but his ratings look just like that.
I don't have a problem with Arod being the best 3B ingame, but I have a problem with 2007 Arod being in The Show '10

It takes the last three years into account.

And Wright is still probably a better overall hitter (last year's anomaly, notwithstanding). But Zimmerman is a stud with the glove.

The rankings look pretty damn good to me, especially when you compare them to the others that have been released.

One thing of note...is the 3B position becoming that weak that Scott Rolen is ranked no. 10? The guy was a very, very good and hard-nosed player back in the day...but he's really a shell of his former self thanks to injuries.
