MLB '10: The Show Official Team Ratings and Explanation

[Cras]

Indians ranked last? Yup, sounds right to me!

I'm still in shock at my Cards rankings. I understand your logic behind it but are the benches and relief pitching weighted at all?

I'm OK with the Batting/Defense as the batting does drop off a little after Pujols/Holliday but cetainly they have at least a top 10 pitching staff, if not top 5.

The first time I saw that in that game my jaw hit the floor, I honestly thought there was some kind of bug, like they hadn't put Holliday on the roater, or they had Carp on the DL or something. Good to know I wasn't the only one.

Swapping Tatis to the Cards made them go from 20 to 13 in hitting ???? Lol
Bench players should have less of an impact on the ratings compared to everyday players.

The Rays 12th in pitching? Hmmmm yea

Exactly. That's why I asked if the bench players were weighted. Although it sounds like they aren't. That means Puols average has just as much of an impact as say, Nick Stavanougha's even though Pujols plays everyday and Nick plays maybe once every four games. That doesn't make sense.

Although really it doens't matter as obvioulsy your starters are who you generally play as so if you're teams good they are good, regardless of the "overall" rankings.
