Because I have edited and trained enough players in DD to know what constitutes a 99 at the 1b position. I am guessing they most likely put his contact and plate disc higher than what it should be. As for centerfielders and SS's....it is really easy to make them 99's. It really is about speed, defense, baserunning, and contact for them.

You may be right though. I haven't seen his individual ratings. He may have things like durability, base running aggressiveness, and clutch be 90+ which doesn't do much for gameplay, but would certainly boost his overall.

Here is what Trout's and Pujols' offensive ratings should be IMO:

Contact vs RHP: 97
Contact vs LHP: 70
Power vs RHP: 95
Power vs LHP: 79
Plate vision: 72
Plate discipline: 80

Pujols:

Contact vs RHP: 77
Contact vs LHP: 79
Power vs RHP: 80
Power vs LHP: 98
Plate vision: 96
Plate discipline: 70

If they look something like that then I think it is fair. The thing is Trout is going to have a lot higher attributes in speed, baserunning, arm slightly, etc. Heck McCutchen ended up being a 99 overall last year and his offensive attributes aren't even that great. 77, 87, 62, 72, 68, 79 for contact, power, pvis, and pdisc. Trout was a 99 for the last roster update too. Thing is people go crazy over numbers for some reason, but they didn't complain once last year when they weren't used.

I can deal with Trout being a 99, but Chapman? How can a starter be 99 when all he did was relief work? Chapman is listed with pitchers, not closers.

I agree, I am starting to think that there should be two "overall numbers" One for D and One for O. The two numbers shouldn't have any effect on one an other.

I don't think you and I are as far away in thinking as it seams.
I believe judging a player solely on one year is a little much, but I also think that in the future, perhaps ratings should be split into defense and offense, and not blended together to form one overall number.

These ratings really look like they take into effect the last 3 years and IF the player can play lights out. Some of the 99s could play like a hall of famer one day an completely opposite the next. (Hamilton) Jeckyl and Hyde if you will. The 99 playing ability has to be unlocked even if they don't play that way all the time. Players that will win games single handidly. Which is why there are spots for Adam Dunn , Carlos Quentin. Maybe why the power Hitters rated so high.

I personally try to fill my team with players able to win the game alone and hopefully between 25 guys we get 90 wins.

Yes. You can do just the bars

Agreed. This is why I loved the bar system. Way less complaining.
