Longoria's defensive stats are always low. He's top 3 gold glove defense every year and has a canon. Interested to see what they actually look like.

Kevin Kiermaier was the best center fielder defensively in all of baseball last year. He should have a boost for sure.

In what way is Wainwright underrated? His durability is a major issue and I'd be surprised if he is higher than 40 in durability.

I expect he will. During the Franchise stream of 3-3, looked like he was an A potential and overall in the 80's.


No WS MVP boost this year, Salvadore Perez still an 82, and probably with those same attributes. GG winner three years in a row and likely with low level reaction number and blocking a whopping 70.

Starling Marte still a B and MLBTV Network show had him as best LF in the game by The Shredder. The Shredder, no bias....

I think Goldschmidt should be a 99 if anyone, there's no weaknesses in his game for a first baseman. 1.005 OPS last year, 21 steals and a gold glove.

Really? If he is going to get knocked for durability then why isn't Tulowitzki docked more for injuries.

Previous to last years freak achilles injury he was the league leader in innings pitched in 2013 and in the top 5 of that category in 2014.

I don't think he is nearly as fragile as you seem to think. If he is rated a 40 in durability then Tulowitzki must be a 10.

I don't know Brantley, Peralta and Upton might have things to say about that.

Regardless the overall calculation in The Show is going to be biased towards certain ratings. Marte may be a great player all around, but his power rating isn't going to be that high in game so his overall calculation will suffer. Move him to CF and his rating might go up as The Show calculates overall differently based on position.
