Jordan and Lankford? Wow. They'll be amazing. Lankford hit the most homeruns ever in old Busch. He's gotta be a STUD!

You'll take care of it. He spent more time with the Cards though. Just happened to have his best season with the Mets. |

I miss those 90s Mets. Gilkey, Butch Huskey, Piazza, Alfonzo, Todd Hundley, Olerud, Leiter, Rick Reed (who was unfortunately never in BBSBL), Bobby Jones, John Franco, Turk Wendell, Dennis Cook and all them.
Those were some fun years

How could I forget Terry Pendelton and Gary Gaetti?
I could be here all day. Man the Cardinals had some stud players, why were they not better during the 90s?

Just watched Pendleton hit a homerun off of Roger McDowell in 1987. Gotta be a stud if he hit that homerun off of a Met!

Lol at all the brilliants being predicted. Don't worry reality over rules all. How you even rate the hits ratings? Hits/9 is the only way to rate them and same with HR/9, BB/9 and K/9, with doubles being the average of hits and home runs. All pitching stats are per 550 AB's, all information that is easily found on baseballreference.com. Hits is determined by lifetime average against. |

Doubles are pretty much an average of hits and homers anyway, so if both are brilliant, then doubles automatically become brilliant I'm not going to lie, I'm somewhat taken aback at how little you know about rating rookies and it makes me think that this is why I question a TON of ratings in LBB. We have an OOTP5 ratings chart and you can actually figure EVERY rating by using baseballreference.com. For pitchers you go to the Batting-Against section which can be found by clicking the "More Stats" link on the player home page. Batters should all be self explanatory. The only numbers that are up for debate are velocity, GB% and pitches. Also, endurance to some extent. |

I probably won't ever have Nolan Ryan, but I will be disappointed if he only has a fair in walks, which will essentially ruin him from becoming 1 of the greats Ryan WAS only FAIR in walks though. IN fact, he led ALL of baseball in giving up walks EIGHT times. His numbers, however are very close to AVG and this would be the case where I'd probably bump him to AVG. But, in this league, you have the ability to bump the ratings, so I really don't think it's that deep. |

If all you NL people are simply scared of the Mets' future, I can understand. But please don't let that cloud any of your judgments. No offense (what I always say before I'm about to offend you) but you are one delusional cat. Jeebus. |

What will happen if the league benefits of the doubt too many people I will make the all time great cheapened and lead to a league where being G across the board is average. Something we are already teetering near. Um we're already way past that lol average ratings for pitchers are trash VERY rarely did pitchers who would have AVG ratings in hits have meaningful MLB careers, and certainly not as multi year SP's. |

As far as all time greats, I did make Pete Rose BR in hits despite the fact that technically he was only GOOD. He was the all time hits leader. I believe that only Tony Gwynn in the modern era would rate as BR in hits by the book. You're welcome.
