MLB '10: The Show Top 5 Shortstops

[keymax]

I like it. First I was shocked but when you look at the ratings it shows you:

Hanley Ramirez is the best hitting SS, by far.
Jimmy Rollins isn't a great hitter.

The only blemish imo is Orlando Cabrera mentioned in the Top 9. He looked like a shell of his former self out there with the glove. And his bat wasn't anything special. Ever.

The SS overall ratings seem to prioritize speed and defense. This appearsb to be by far the best list so far.

I think the 3B list is better overall in accuracy...but this is a solid list, I agree.

Look at the ratings, only reason he is slightly higher than Hanley is because of his fielding ratings and speed. There is not much of a difference between the top 3.

Reyes shouldn't be #1 and his durability is far too high, plays 40 games in 09, and he has a 90 for durability.

After playing 155+ for four straight years...

90 is probably too high, but the guy isn't injury-prone except for his first taste of the bigs back in '03 and '04.

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

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 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?
