MLB 11 The Show - Overall Team Rankings

[kr49erfan]

Gotta love Philly fans, nothing like them.

Glad to see my Giants ranked number 3. Beat Braves, Phillies, and Rangers not in 1 game but in a full series. This is not football were u can get lucky on any even game. In baseball the best team must clearly win.

No doubt the surprise rating is the twins, they should atleast be below 15. On the other hand, Dodger above Reds?!?!? Really? Maybe I am just bias.

Uh, I think you got that mixed up. Baseball is a game where being hot counts. The best record from season to season barely beats .600, Football you have multiple teams with records better than .600.

So it only takes a 7 game series to determine if a team is better than the other one or not? LOL!

Sorry I can clarify that for you, the best team clearly wins a series. Being hot does count. Giants had timely hitting and proved that Great pitching beats Great hitting.

Really? So when the Pirates win a series against a playoff team in the regular season that makes them a better team?

The hottest team in the playoffs usually wins it all, it does not make them the 'best' team. Baseball is a game of slumps and hot streaks, its why they have 162 games in the regular season, and its also why the playoffs are considered a crapshoot, a 7 game series isn't enough to establish a best team (small sample size), but someone has to win. So I respect the giants for winning it all, but best team they are not.

Valid point, a crapshoot may be pushing it. In 2010 overall we faired well against the Phillys, going 7-5. I also agree they are not the best team, personally I think Red Sox are. A do believe we belong at three at this point in the beginning of the season.

The Angels at 24. LOLOL One of the best young pitching staffs and great young arms in the bullpen. Morales is back at 1B. One of the best defensive outfields now. Lots of speed. Angels should be no lower than 10 and with any luck with injuries this year, top 4 in the AL.
