MLB '10: The Show Top 5 Second Baseman

[Diablo25]

I know the rating system here is specific but Aaron Hill needs some love in this thread. Helluva year last year.

.286, 36 bombs, 108 RBI.

Who the flip is "Robinson Cano?"

I agree but as they told us its a combination of the last 3 years with last year being the highest, he didnt play much 2 yrs ago so I assume thats why hes a little low...I love Hill and he'll be clutch this year..I'd say power down..20 hrs and 85 RBI but still solid and very good defensively..he'll be a leader on that team..he does things the right way and will be showing the way

I don't care what none of y'all say, I'd rather have a championship than a top 9 2B in a video game any day.

Everyone should keep in mind that the overall ratings are exactly that- overall. This includes every rating of every facet of the player's game, including speed, defense, plate discipline, even durability!

Robinson Cano may have a slightly lower overall because he likely has low plate discipline, given the lack of walks over his career. Also, his defense is probably the only truly overrated part of his game. Dude has zero range. He's like Ellsbury in that regard, he'll pull of what seems like an amazing diving play, but it's really a routine play for fielders with better reaction times. He's also not really the best baserunner, not slow, but not quick on the jump either.

So if Cano has very good offensive stats but low Discipline, Reaction, and Baserunning Ability, that would probably lower his overall rating.

The yankees won the WS, good for you. And I'm sure they couldn't have done it without you.

But I don't know what that has to done with some questionable ratings.

Phillips is rated too high as he is very inconsistent in my opinion. His batting stance seems to be wrong again this year. Good thing they allow us to change it.

A better 2b than the balding midget brother of a child molestor.
