That one season is still the best projector of how a player will perform going forward.

Wright is still 89 overall and a top 5 third baseman even with the power drop. If his power returns, the rating gets updated. It's pretty simple.

Last season he was 96 overall and tied with A-Rod for best 3B in the game. there is simply no way he deserves that coming off the year he did.

The best projector would be using 3-year season averages.

Great idea! That way the entire Mets team can be overrated instead of accurately sucky.

David Wright had 618 plate appearances, and he was healthy for the fast majority of them. Don't make excuses.

I'm not making excuses and I didn't even say his rating was wrong. I'm saying to more accurately portray ratings they should be based on 3-year averages if applicable.

By your theory if Wright was injured all of last season he would have no ratings.

I'll be interested to see if once you put Damon on the Tigers if their hitting OVR doesn't go up, if even a bit. Seems a bit low now...but pretty close.

All we have to do is look to the Mets and see why 3 year averages don't work

Angel Pagan
2007: 745 OPS
2008: 720 OPS
2009: 837 OPS

Jeff Francoeur
2007: 782 OPS
2008: 653 OPS
2009 Braves: 634 OPS
2009 Mets: 836 OPS

You would be crying if these players were rated below their 2009 production. The good has to be taken with the bad. Three years is a VERY long time, and frankly there isn't much relation between a player's 2007 production and what his 2010 production will be.

How does 3 years make it "more accurate" praytell? 3 year averages pad the ratings of declining veterans and deflate the ratings of rising stars.

Fortunately I'm not an idiot, and would use the previous season's stats.

No I think that perfectly demonstrates why averages would work. Chances are those two players OPS will not be as high next season and they probably won't be as low as the 2 prior seasons.

I'm not a big ratings guy anymore. I have better things to do then debate why someone is a 70 power overall when they should be a 60 ovr. It really doesn't make much of a difference in the long run.
