MLB 15 The Show: Diamond Dynasty Ratings Boost Predictions (8/16/15)

[ChaseB]

Another week is wrapping up in Diamond Dynasty as folks are getting to better understand the landscape after the major roster update and skyrocketing market prices. The All I Do Is Win pack was also released, which only included pitchers. All that being said, it's time to look ahead once again and try to predict who might be getting a ratings boost on Monday morning.

I'll be breaking the predictions into tiers based on my own confidence level. Also one last note, I went very light on predictions this week as I have no idea how they will go coming off the large update last week.

Ratings Boost Probability: High

-Hisashi Iwakuma - When you throw the first AL no-hitter since 2012, you tend to get noticed. Iwakuma has also been very good overall the past month. He had a rough start to the year and some injury issues, but has bounced back very nicely for the Mariners.

-Chris Davis - Chris Davis just keeps hitting bombs. He’s got nine home runs the last 14 days, 15 in the past month. He’s a beast.

Machado a Diamond. Increases for DeGrom, Betances, Chapman, Kipnis. Joc is now a bronze. Noah Syndergard a Gold. Brandon Crawford a gold.

I was going to say there should be no way that machado is rated higher then donaldson, when i saw machado was a 94. But then i clicked on Donaldson and he is 95 now

edit: I flipped a ton of machado's this weekend. Now i wish i held onto one

so much for everyone getting updated uniformily this is the same has before... I thought the point of the big change was players would be able to be updated quickly and accurately. If Chris Davis and Nelson Cruz got no boost and Joc Pederson went down this week is the same old thing. Let me use Joc, so he doesnt homer since the AS break and keeps his rating but last week he was on base a ton and hit two hrs so he gets a big decrease. So what they promised is not true again how surprising. I am not saying Joc shouldnt have been decreased just pointing out that these ratings still make no sense on how they are changed.

Did Donaldson's right vs left ratings get bumped? His contact/power vs righties was under 70.

It always seems over the years that the devs and ratings guys have ALWAYS been a week behind when increasing or decreasing a guy
