Evan Longoria is way underrated for a guy who got in the all star game
also zito fastball which is 89mph in the game is faster than he could ever pitch.

I have to say a lot of the ratings in this game are atrocious. I guess it will be a lot of editing for me, but at least I got it.

No love for Shaun Marcum---Jays 2cd best pitcher, had a very good year to! Basically same stats as last year.

Adam Lind is has no chance, maybe next year.

Remember, stats are set on last years abilities and stats. Just because Evan Longoria (not related to eva? darn) is having a breakout year, his stats will NOT reflect it. I find trying to adjust stats for sports games is nearly impossible. Reminds me of the Madden NFL series, guys will be overrated/underrated just the same as they are in every other sport.

Take away everything that's been done this year, and you'll have a tolerably accurate accounting of the players who've spent at least 2-3 years within the top 3 levels.

Yeah, when I was typing that, I wasn't thinking aout how it was mostly the new guys in the game I was just frustrated that I had to edit them, but I am not going overboard and giving them amazing stats, just ones that reflect how they've done with a little bit of a decrease in some of the stats.

That's what's so frustrating about Marcum...he had a break out year last, all-star if I'm not mistaking. He has C control C stamin yet Litsh (rookie this year who just started well before being sent back down) has C control B stamina. I actually think Litsh is better, they must have been taking Marcum injury early this year in account. O'well, I will be making a pitcher eventrually anyway so one of them will be gone.

I like Marcum. I think he has a good future in the Majors.

Masahide Kobayashi.

Wow.

Soto and Dempster are horrible.

Fukudome, of course, is ridiculous. (no blue abilities though)

How about nick markakis, who has the same grades as last year, Josh Hamilton, who is basically a clone of Markakis, and Brandon Phillips, whose only improvement has been speed!

Markakis had a 20-20 season, Phillips had a 30-30 season, and Hamilton is destroying everyone right now, with already double the stolen bases he had last year.

You can edit their skills?

Yes, you can edit everything about them except potential and birthdate. You just have to go into my data then to edit player, then click on a player then go to either abilities or special abilities and you can change them.

I might edit some players from last years version now that there is a new one but I won't edit this year's until the next one comes out.
