Cubs are always overated. Offense can be much better if someone steps in at 3rd. The offense doesn't stop at Pujols and Holliday. Guys like Ludwick(hurt for a good part of last year), Rasmus, Molina, and Skip have proven they are very good hitters.

Pitching is underated too. Carpenter and Wainwright were cy young guys last year. Throw in Penny and Lohse(hurt last year) and you have a top 5 rotation.

How can anyone with half a brain rate the Brewers pitching better than their batting? GTFO!

Aardsma is all they have, but they don't have a bridge to him so there really is no point in having a good closer. If a team had Halladay and Lincecum, but had a ridiculously injury prone starer, to go along with 2 unproven pitchers, do you think that warrants anything higher than 19th? Not to mention the weak and thin bullpen

Rowland-Smith had a 3.60 ERA and was 11-7. I would not bash him. Teams can't just go out and buy the 3rd starter they want unlike a certain team in New York.

Im happy about the Braves being 6th and all, but why do they keep puting the braves so low on defence, their not t hat bad at defence. we were 28th on 09 at one time on defence. what gives?

I'm gonna guess Matt Vasgersian is in charge of ratings since we know how much he loves St. Louis

Would not surprise me lol

Nice to see the 'Stros got the 9th D. I like a steady fielding game. I can handle all the rest when I play my RTTS, but I can't do squat about my D aside from my player.

Meh, the Cards got screwed last year as well in the rankings and it didn't stop them from being good in the game(though I did use Knight's rosters most of the year so maybe he adjusted for that). I won't make too much of this and am anxiously awaiting March 2nd to prove them wrong!
