MLB 11 The Show - Overall Team Rankings

[CabreraMVP]

If the braves "Holes" are their 30 homerun a season 2nd basemen, their .300 hitting all star who can play everywhere, and Chippper, I like their chances.

Seriously how is Prado overrated and a hole with their team? In the past 4 years he has never posted an OPS lower than .800 and never hit lower than .290

Lowe had two sub 100 ERA+ seasons in a row-- 100 is average. Curious if you have defenses lined up for McLouth and Alex Gonzalez? Look, the Braves will be good. Solid line-up. Two really good starters in Hudson and Hanson. Maybe Jair Jurrjens if he's healthy will give them a great top 3. My moneys on Mike Minor being a more valuable piece than Lowe as this season goes.

- Lowe has managed to pick up 15 wins since being in Atl... not that brutal to me. I think Heyward is the future #3 hitter of this team and Prado is finally getting credit for how good he is and has been. The guy was never projected to be more than a utility player however, he has put up .300 BA and has been a plus defender. He has also looked good in the outfield so far. I think were the third best team in the NL running neck and neck with Col. Phillies are going to be tough, but we usually give them trouble through the year. Giants are going to be good again, going to be a fun year to watch baseball. I have never really been all that impressed with the Cards. Just Pujols who I think inflates their rating a bit.

You cant talk logic with someone that thinks that lol. It just shows they know nothing about the game and are a braves h-ater. That would be like me saying shane victorino is a terrible defensive center fielder (which of course he isnt) because I hate the phillies.

I'm pretty sure the whole point of this thread is to argue about why your team should be ranked higher, and that's what makes it so great to read.

Oh how things might be different if Ryan Howard would actually swing the bat with his team's season on the line.

Here is the deal people, the rankings are not based on what teams did last year. They are based on the calculation of ratings of each player on every position on each team. So the reason the Giants are not rated higher than the Yankees or Red Sox is because the both teams have high rated players on the offensive side than the Giants and this is just a example.

c'mon don't blame Howard for ending the year for the phillies. it was all Brian "Fear the Beard" Wilson for smoking him with that 99 mph fastball!!
