Couldn't explain it better! Thus, it was last year while having Beltran and Reyes. Beltran for only 3/4.. But, at the lowest, our hitting should be a 21. I say, if The likes of Duda and Murphy and Davis weren't rated so low, we'd be at that 21. We could easily
Get to a 17-18! With basically no "Great great offensive player". Wirghts really good and Davis is pretty good. Duda, from last year, was pretty good. Tejada is probably an awful hitter in the show.. But I'll edit, just mad because we're expected to be bad; they took parts of our offense and defense and dubbed it a little lower than it should be. Also Murphs a solid Offensive player at the least.

I think that the guys at SCEA should make a seperate rating for the rotation and the bullpen. Also, Jerome Williams should get at least 10 wins this year, if not 15. I think he'll do great for us this year.

The Phillies are where they should be with hitting #1 scoring NL team after Utley returned on May 22. Pitching they should be #1 They have a rotation that should have 3 pithers that should have maxed out overall rating with a bullpen that's has a few good pitchers like Paps and Bastardo (With his .119 BAA last season). Defense they have Victornio, Utley, Polly and Rollens but not many other solid defenders they should be like 5th-8th.

This is so bad.

Astros dead last... sad, but true. Wonder if I can sell the team in Franchise mode

Using fWAR, active roster only, and the last three years. The best teams in each category are as follows with their Show ranking in parenthesis:

Batting:
1. Yankees (4)
2. Red Sox (2)
3. Rays (18)(WTF?)
4. Brewers (12)
5. Cardinals (8)

Pitching:
1. White Sox (18) (Again, WTF?)
2. Giants (2)
3. Rangers (14)
4. Yankees (1)
5. Rockies (28) (!)

Defense:
1. Rays (9)
2. Reds (8)
3. Diamondbacks (7)
4. Giants (23)
5. Mariners (18)

I'm sure the rest of the game is great, but this truly disappoints me.

Brewers seem pretty well rounded, but I think they should be ranked higher in hitting. Sure, they lost Fielder, but they got Aramis and got rid of McGehee, then replaced the useless Betancourt with Alex Gonzalez.

Yea, I'm not one to get involved in rankings threads, but this is pretty bad unfortunately. I understand a couple weird ones here and there, but c'mon.

In the AL last year, the Angels had the best staff or was top 3 in every category, and they just added CJ Wilson! And with their bullpen getting heat early on, they did end up having something like the 2nd lowest ERA once the season was over. That's truly disappointing that SCEA has them 10th, since along with the Rays they will be pretty dominant and well ahead of the pack.

Other than the Phillies and Rays, no team an throw 4 starters as good as the Angels, and Jerome Williams was pretty nasty last season after Joel Pineiro was weighing them down statistically.
