Not bad, but nothing to get overly excited about. Pineda, in 28 starts with the Mariners last season had a 3.74 ERA. 270 since 2004 and this is a guy that is supposed to be a great addition? Sure, he might be good with the glove at the hot corner, but he can't hit anymore. The dude is injury riddled and even when he is healthy, hasn't hit over. Name me the last time he was good hitter. If this was done before Fielder signed with Detroit then that would explain The Brewers being rated so high. With that rotation and new DH split.they're better in my opinion. They are AT LEAST as good on paper as they were going into last season. 2012: Sabathia, Pineda, Nova, Kuroda, Hughes.
Now they have a lefty righty DH split of Andruw Jones & Raul Ibanez, ARod had the Kobe Bryant surgery (who looks like he got a new pair of legs this year after having the procedure done), Tex could easily replicate his 2009/2010 campaigns.and their rotation.2011: Sabathia, Nova, Burnett, Colon, Garcia. Their DH Jorge Posada was not good at all, they lost Joba Chamberlain, they lost Rafael Soriano.
Any bounce back from him is a major plus there. This is a joke and not a true representation of sim baseball.Īlex Rodriguez missed nearly half the season last year. Where are the Angels with Pujols and the Tigers? They aren't even in the top 5? The Yankees or Red Sox may not even make the playoffs, and barring big-time injuries, the Tigers and Angels are almost shoe-ins. Miguel Cabrera, who is hands down the best hitter in the Majors, with the exception of Albert Pujols, is only a 95 rating? I get that his fielding will be suspect at 3rd, but come on. They won't be replicating anything resembling real baseball with those lousy roster ratings. And if they expect me to buy this game to replicate real baseball, they are sadly mistaken. I don't really care what he did in Texas, he hasn't been great with the Yankees.Īre there roster updates coming with this game? These default rosters are absolutely horrible. A-Rod is getting worse every year and Teixeira is a. But there is no way you can tell me the Yankees have a better roster than the Phillies. Those are hands down the two best rosters in the Major Leagues. The rangers and Phillies I completely understand. Sure, they have a good pitching staff, but just because they have Ryan Braun, and added Aramis makes them a 92? Then, the Yankees, who only added Hiroki Kuroda in the off-season are a 95 overall rating with an aging shortstop, zero hitters or playmakers in the outfield besides Granderson, and a pitching staff with a lot of big names, but little production.
How do the Milwaukee Brewers LOSE Prince and still have a 92 rating? That makes zero sense. I do not understand these ratings at all.
