Pujols had one good month.

When it comes to players I know, the ratings seem logical.

Honestly I agree with you. People like Arenado, and Frazier, and Machado all had monster months and have cooled down. McCutchen didn't start off so hot, or Stanton then got hot before all star break. I think these updates are based on whole first half considerations and not just a single month for inflated stats. However, I agree with most stat changes...But how in the world did Sonny Gray go down?!

Everybody has hot streaks and cold streaks, but if you just look at their overall season numbers, these don't make sense. The amount at which they were downgraded is the problem. Arenado is 23 years old and having a monster season for a young 3bm and they substantially decrease his power, contact, and never upgraded his fielding. I'm just using him as an example, but this happened to a lot of players this update. They got dinged in areas they shouldn't have.

Yeah definitely. all the guys I mentioned are having great seasons however Arenado had that two week span where he jacked like 8 home runs. Take them away and he is still having a great season but not even close to where people think he is. I do find it weird how they never really increase speed or fielding because he deserves an upgrade in those categories but overall he has had a solid season. I question the downgrade but increasing him when he was a monster for like a two week period isn't smart either. Arenado is hitting .250 over the past two weeks with only like two home runs. He is in a cold spell and probably will come out of it but I think he will be somewhere in the middle .280 hitter with 25 home run power. I think that's about 89 overall worthy. So I think he should have been left alone personally.

I am an orioles fan and OMG did they screw this up. Machado with a big big decrease. They moved chris davis to right field from 1b even though he hasn't played there in two weeks and was moved back to 1b in this game last week. Ubaldo our best pitcher took a big decrease while gausman and tillman whose having one of the worst season of his career get upgraded. Gerardo Parra having the best season of his career takes a decrease and is moved to LF even though he has only played RF where this game moved chris davis. Adam Jones decreased even though he is doing just fine and always has. Travis Snyder is on the Orioles Junior Lake who is in AAA dumb. Great update what a joke I may be done with this series until they get some competition. Can someone also please explain to me how Nelson Cruz leads the majors in hrs for over a year, almost two years now, but is no where near the best power hitter in the game. CARLOS GOMEZ got upgraded... What?!?! dude still is faster and better at stealing than altuve

They said they did the rerates they use between games every year. I'm guessing that means instead of basing rating changes on current hot/cold streaks they are taking into account the last few seasons for each player.

If thats the case, i dont know why they bothered to do rating changes all along. And will they still be doing weekly updates? I
