Haven't ya heard that Betances is like the 10th best reliever in baseball?

It's a travesty that he's still 87. Should be 91-92.

It's pathetic that he's like the 10th highest rated reliever.

I'm just excited about my man Duda getting some more PWR's. Can't wait to use him when I get home.

He is, but he was playing extremely well before he went down. Besides, guys don't get downgraded for being injured. Otherwise Cliff Lee would be a 75 by now.

Homer Bailey dropped from gold status down to an 83 just for being injured.

Yeah U think Bailey is the only injured player to receive a downgrade while being injured.

I think I get what you're saying. The Nats had so much hype on them coming into the season that their players started from perhaps a bit of an artificially high place. I'm not saying there aren't irregularities that I disagree with either, but rating players you'll never make everyone happy.

He went Gold very recently, which is something.

Yeah I'm with 55. He's having a stupidly amazing season as a super young player. You tend to get pushed if that happens.

He is not, but it was highly irregular how they've handled dinging injured players.

I guess Joc will be a little more well rounded now and will able to hit vs lefties but -9 Contact vs righties? Haven't looked into the hardcore numbers at all but that seems odd.
