Hmmm....I guess that explains it...I think. Eh, what the heck, slugging percentage and homers are real, but more important is the feeling, what you feel or think will happen. Ah, now I get it.

Good to see Felix and Morales get some love. Also was really surprised by Tom Wilhelmsen getting >90. Also surprised Kyle Seager doesn't have more than a 85.

What defines power in this game? Slg, ISOP, HR's, average distance traveled? Someone that had 30 HR's while missing the first month I would think would have, at least, 80+ power.

Mike Trout is the closest looking to Mickey Mantle as I have ever seen...I'm talkin' 5 tool player. Until there's a decline in ANY of his arsenals, he deserves the 99 rating imo.

I'm a HUGE Reds fan, & Chapman won't last as a starter & he'll be back as the closer to where he deserves the 99 rating.

Absolutely! They have Harper with 78 for power against RHP while Trout (72) has both SLG and OPS higher against RHP.

If they don't correct Chapman's rating as a Starter, I will make him a closer with appropriate stamina and keep his 99, although I'm not certain he should be a 99. Kimbrel has done it for more than one year, I mean exceptional years, and Chapman has not. In addition, Chapman has to be the only 5th starter rated 99/full bar in the history of this game.

Does anyone know if Matt Carpenter has a secondary position for 2b? He is going to be playing there this year and is already doing so in spring training.

As a Cardinal fan myself I'm interested in the rest of their 40 man roster. Especially Shelby Miller, Joe Kelly and Matt Adams

This is jus for arguments sake. I think both are fantastic players. This is more to bunk slugging percentage. First thing that popped in my head was how many singles did he turn to doubles. Or triples. Hope this isn't too off base ..

Mike Trouts slash line 2012. 559 abs. 117 singles. 27 doubles. 8 triples. 30 homers.
Now I'll give my line IF BIG IF HERE Trout didn't have BLAZING speed. And enter that into the slugging calculator.

Trout 559 abs. 115singles. 25 doubles. 1 triple. 30 homers. Slugging comes to ab .513 The likes of Ian Desmond , Jason Kubel , Cory hart , Adam laroche. All of which seem like 70s power. 70s power seemed like so much more with just the bar. We just arguing cents here too
