MLB 13 The Show - Overall Team Ratings, Including Batting, Pitching and Defense

[cardinalbird5]

Kinda surprised to see the Cards 2nd. I was expecting 7th or 8th. But to be fair, most of their key players are returning and they were 4th in run differential last year, 2nd in NL in runs scored, and was 8th in team ERA.

Their rotation and bullpen is going to very deep this year, even with the loss of Carpenter.

what did you expect in this thread? Why even read the comments? I think for most of us in this thread the fun of it is arguing for you team. Everyone is bias towards their team. Im extremely bias, but i also love baseball and its fun to see the baseball world through other fans eyes no matter how ridiculous some of their views maybe.

Jim Thome = time to hang it up. Not the same player when he was in his prime. Randy Wolf = His surgery played a factor here. As for those they added, I don't think you can say it was a regression. I think Management especially Buck likes what he has so therefore they didn't go crazy in the offseason.

I'm going a bit on name power with Wolf/Thome/Hall/Andino/Saunders, as I can't remember exactly what their ratings are.

Anyways, too bad the manager doesn't have much of an impact on team ranking or the O's would be right up there. Still just a team with dookie starting pitching and Kevin Gregg closing out ball games.

Plus, I think Buck opened up the roster so that he can pick up a few players. The ones brought in are not taxing to the budget.

Pitching has never been solid for the O's in the past decade.

I've always said there's no reason to argue ratings, but I think the Red Sox ranking just made me drop my jaw.

By Kevin Gregg you mean Jim Johnson right? 50 saves? He wasn't amazing but he's a pretty good pitcher.
