It's pretty laughable that A-Rod, Teixeira and Beltran are Top 10's in their respective positions.

#1. Hes on the cover.
#2. These #s are subject to change
#3. He is the most recent TC winner ALMOST 2 yrs in a row. And ratings are based off of the last 3 yrs.
#4. He is the best hitter in the game and his plate #s can over power is Def #s.
#5 Hes on the cover!

Love the ratings , they look pretty much spot on

# 24 NYYanks26 @ 03/25/14 12:12 PM

Just an FYI these are the out of the box ratings. It wouldn't let me download the live roster, if ones even up yet. Maybe later in the week. And I will check Brauns rating later since like 3 people have asked.

Also Beltran is not a top 9 right fielder? Cmon why all the Beltran hate this year?!

# 25 HozAndMoose @ 03/25/14 12:14 PM

Salvador Perez and Greg Holland should both be Top 3 at their positions.

Braun does not play RF easy to see why he's not up there because he plays LF

Servers usually arent up yet til release day.
IDT they will have a roster update til 4/7, but that could change with the late release date vs the date of Opening Day.

Don't disagree at all. Baseball may benefit from a two rating system with no overall rating; An offensive rating and defensive rating. That may make it easier to build your team because sometimes teams will specifically forgo offensive ability to have a great glove. That's why Simmons got called up for the Braves, even though he has some good power numbers. That's why the Tigers traded for Gonzalez at short. Then you could sort based on team needs to fill out a roster.

Servers aren't up but you can usually download the roster before release. I thought the other guy who posted yesterday was able to download a roster over the weekend but maybe I misunderstood.

All I saw was him ask Russell if there would be an update before next week...

Braun is making the switch to RF this year... Khris Davis can only play LF.

I think it's mainly due to the NY on his hat this year....the hate I mean.

For me, it's not because he's a Yankee. It's because he is 36 years old, you just don't see people that age be the best player at their position. Beltran has always been a very good player, but never seemed to reach elite status (and maybe that's because he played in KC & STL). Maybe it's not even a knock on Beltran but just the lack of quality RFs in the game today.

# 38 thetrueadrock @ 03/25/14 01:02 PM

Beltran is definitely a top 9 RF. I would have thought his defense would have dropped him below a 90 OVR but the dude can still rake. Any plans to post pics of team lineups with the ratings visible? Pretty please? Cherry on top?

# 39 anchorsteamer @ 03/25/14 01:05 PM

Gonna go ahead and be a homer: Posey is the #1 catcher. Someone at Sony needs to show their work.

Hes probably low because of his 2011 season.
