I think Lincecum should have at least Fastball Life 4, Dr.K, Lucky, and maybe Spin 4. He's pretty raw, seriously. Way underated, and he tops at high 90's, that's just with his 2-seamer too! And Wilsion too, he throws like, 102! I thik it's total bull, they should give him Intimidator.

David Wright's defense is way underrated. I mean this guy won the gold glove last year. And his hitting is slightly underrated. Sabermetrically, he was the most productive hitter in the NL in 2007.

Zach Duke is incredible in this game! He shouldn't be this good!

Well, if our old pitching "coach" hadn't messed around with Duke's arm after his 8-2 rookie season back in '05, those stats would be reasonable. Instead, the Pirates tried to improve his mechanics and that failed effort led to a 10-15 record in 2006, 3-8 last year, and 4-11 this year. :roll: That's why the Bucs will break the losing season record and why I root for the Red Sox. :)

A-Rod has Gd Rain ability. That just doesn't make sense.

Papi still has horrible fielding! He didn't make an error at all in 2007 including the playoffs!

David Wright should have Stealing 4 for taking Ryan Zimmerman's Gold Glove last year.

I'm not sure, but I think David Wright already has Stealing 4.

i still remember seeing that barehanded catch a few years back. He was actually born in the city next to my hometown.

anyone who thinks David Wright is a gold glove callibur fielder is badly mistaken. He makes some flashy plays, but a lot of errors too. Player's vote for D- Wright for the ESPN top 10 plays he is in, not because he is good at defense.

I never said that he had gold glove caliber fielding (assuming it was your intention to say that I was wrong) I just said he was underrated. I'm thinking C/B arm, B/A field, and E/D e res. Plus Aggressive Fld and Barehand Catch. But D Fielding? Come on. He may make a lot of errors but that might just be because his range is so good (fielders with great range make more errors because they reach a lot more tough balls that a normal fielder would never had gotten to, thus increasing error rate.) And even if he does make errors, I still think that C arm and D field is vastly underrated. Plus the hitting is slightly underrated.
