Range ratings for new set

[ROBERT TRENT]

I beleive david wright will never get a 1 from strat, he wins the gold glove and cant get a 1, i think it is strat bias against the mets and david, hal just does not want to give a mets 3b a 1, i think the only way wright will get a 1 is go three seasons errorless and win the MVP two times then maybe hal will wake up and give him a 1 :evil:

I was surprised to see Cameron with a 1, but having watched him most of the year, I think it was well deserved. As I thought, Ryan Braun appears to have earned the coveted 4e0. I thought Hardy may have deserved a 1 this year, but it was probably borderline.

Nate McLouth??? I thought strato had more sense than that!

---A GG will do that for ya sometimes

What is the statistical criteria for winning a GG? A bunch of old sports writers just vote for the guys they like the most. Stratos fielding rating should have nothing to do with awards. It should all be based on stats. Does anyone know how strato develops their ratings?

They actually have a panel of guys who are scouts or former players (I know Keith Hernandez, for example is one of them) that go over the stats, look at who won the GG's, and observations from the panel. Then the ratings are assigned and discussed and reassigned.

It used to be a given that guys that won GG's almost always have a 1, but there have been exceptions, Wade Boggs in the late 90's comes to mind.

BTW, please keep in mind these are NOT final, they are likely, but they could change. If you have a beef make a case on Strat-O's site, maybe if enough people do, they'll make a change.

I have a beef with ankiel being a 3 in Cf. How is that? Maybe Ive only seen the highlights of his good catches, but I think he deserves @ least a 2!

my buddy said something about how wright got the best range rating by some publication....but i dont know the validity of that

i think a bunch of people working for the phillies are handing out the ratings.

So Chris Dickerson and Nelson Cruz are getting a card and both are 2's in the outfield. I wonder what type of price tag will be on them? I'm guessing 8mil ala luke scott two years ago.

[LMBombers]

just because SOM creates a card for a player doesn't mean that he will also be represented in this online game too.
