MLB 15 The Show: Diamond Dynasty Stock Watch (8-31-15)

[ChaseB]

Players On The Rise

The youth movement got some nice upgrades this week. Miguel Sano, Rusney Castillo and Francisco Lindor all went from Bronze to Silver -- Kyle Schwarber got a boost as well but remained a Bronze. A couple pitchers reclaimed some of their former luster with Kris Medlen and Justin Verlander getting boosts.

Mike Fiers got his no-hitter ratings bump one week later, much like Iwakuma had gotten following his no-hitter (presumably Arrieta gets one next week as well). In terms of established stars, Cespedes built on his Gold status and Greinke built on his Diamond status.

Tier Changes

(All thanks go to Daddy Leagues for these numbers! They're so on the ball I no longer have to sync up before and after roster update video clips to do all the changes myself.)

• Miguel Sano went from Bronze to Silver
• Francisco Lindor went from Bronze to Silver
• Justin Verlander went from Bronze to Silver

so how long does Edwin Encarnacion have to dominate before he gets a boost?

[baseballsim]

If I was the ratings czar I'd be in over my head. I don't follow what's going on in either leagues.

I'd probably monitor these forums. If a player was mentioned I'd give him a boost, lol.

Yeah, I mean I thought he deserved a boost if that soothes the burn. Hitting 3 homers on a Saturday rather than a Thursday probably didn't help either as I assume most of the update is put together on Friday.

Haha, probably for the best you aren't in charge of the ratings then bud.

Get in line. Rizzo was on a tear for a month and hasn't been touched.

Again no Padre adds that have been playing for weeks. Linger than Trea Turner. And in the starting rotation, not on the bench like Turner is. Unreal.

Encarnacion has been on a tear i cant lie but im yankee fan bias and im curious to why is severino a 73 still after 5 legit starts 4 quality and didi isnt elite or anything but hit over 300 in july and hit over 400 this past week played better defense since april and is a 71? Arm strength 73? Thats a joke
