MLB 11 The Show - Overall Team Rankings

[berenjena]

As a yankee fan I'm use to all the hating towards our team, but I didn't notice how hated the Phillies were around baseball too.

some of the hating and arguments that some fans set up are straight up ridiculous

Cole Hamels could be an ace in tons of teams!

Guys remember to first be a baseball fan... then your favorite team fan.

Man, this is just wrong too.
Oswalt was 7-1 with a 1.65 ERA in meaningful games with the Phillies last year. That's not just ace, but ridiculous.

Oswalt is clearly not very good in relief though and that may of had some effect on his ratings. See Game 5 NLCS.

I still think Hamels could only be the "Ace" on a team that would struggle. He has great stats but I still don't think he has developed the intangibles required of a true ace.

He doesn't go deep enough into games 6.3 and isn't the true shut down hammer that you want out of your ace (I say this despite sitting in Great American last year and watching him dismantle the Reds).
Is he capable of it, yes, but he has struggled with inconsistency. Thats why I think he is one of the best #2s in the game but I still have a tough time accepting him being referred to as an ace.

WTF!? He's a starter, one inning in relief would have zero influence on his rating.

I'm more interested when the Opening day rosters come out, As a Tiger fan Ill take 6th but when the updated rosters drop they probably will be more of a 9 or 10.

How are the twins 17th in this ranking? They are almost returning their entire 2010 central championship team. Nathan will be pitching again and hopefully Morneau will be back playing first. I know their missing two relievers but they are almost a sure thing to be in the top 10 in the MLB by the end of the season.

29th huh? At least i'll have fun rebuilding
