Im glad to see Rolen make it in at 9. I think he was a huge reason Overbay's stats look as good as they do..Rolen misses like 2 throws a year..his range is narrowing but still good.

Rolen should help Votto look a lot better this year

Everyone else looks good.

Not your typical A-rod is overrated there, by a guy with a Jeter avatar! That said, I believe I agree, I think his contact is a little too high for me. But, I think it's good enough. Of course maybe that's really the 100% computer driven ratings output they claim to use.

Looks like they may have "tweaked" A-Rod & Wright's batting stances...can't really tell, but they look a lil' different than in '09.

AROD!

I agree with Arod being overrated. His power numbers have been decreasing the past 2 years. His slg went down 100 points and his OPS even 130 compared to his (monster) 2007. Although I don't think it's important his avg also went down.So his contact numbers appear too high to me.

Fielding wise he has been a negative defender the past 2 years.
He is still a great hitter but his injuries have slowed him down considerably and I don't think he is the clear cut best 3B in baseball. But I won't argue that.
