MLB 11 The Show - Top Rated Teams, Hitter, Fielder, Pitcher, and Most Improved Player

I think Boston has good pitching but Beckett is overrated in this game and so is Lackey. These two would be number 5's on the Giants and Phillies's staffs. And Paplebon is just as shakey as Lidge.

Good call. I think they would too.

im a yankee fan and i was surprised myself to see their pitching rank. Our bullpen did improve over the offseason but our SP has gotten worse. PHI fans u guys do deserve to be #1 with that rotation. Yes blanton is terrible but he is ur #5 starter. Right now he would prob a #3 starter with my yanks. Burnett sucks now and our #4 and #5 are still HUGE question marks. Our hitting is still pretty deadly with tex, cano, arod, the speedy gardner, jeter who hopefully hits better or it wont be pretty, and posada isnt gonna be catching as much anymore so his offense should be better.

Here is how I honestly see how Ranking should go for Sox Yanks and Phillies

Red Sox:

Batting - 1st
Pitching - 3rd
Defense - 1st
Overall - 1st

Yankees:

Batting - 2nd
Pitching - 5th
Defense - 2nd
Overall - 3rd

Phillies:

Batting - 3rd
Pitching - 1st
Defence - 4th
Overell - 2nd

I wouldn't say Blanton is awful... just average. I'm curious to see the way they've rated some of these players...

You have the best offense though. Jeter, Cano, etc. I though Cano was very underrated in last year's game.

Good stuff. I think you guys are better in defense though than the Phillies. Ibanez is slow as nails in left field and Brown has proved nothing. I wonder what Utley's fielding will be like, he had about 5 HUGE errors in the post-season last year.

I'm also curious what Brooks Conrad's defense is rated this year. Yeah I said it.

what about the World champ San Francisco Giants. they have to be one of the top 5 teams?
