New power ratings (feedback requested)

[Turd]

Just for grins, I decided to try out something new to determine base power ratings for RBI.  I was wondering what people thought of these ratings.  I'm well aware there are a number of players who might be lower than the minimum from the original (some ratings in the 600s), but since these are base ratings, I planned on tweaking them.

A lot of these could be used as is, in my opinion, but I wanted to know what the rest of you thought...

[Gantry]

Pena for the Cubs has a REALLY high # considering he only hit 28 dingers in nearly 600 ABs last year. 

[Turd]

Cool, thanks for the feedback...I thought some guys were a little high or low and could be tweaked.

Overall, do they look fair to you?

[Mike D.]

I would think Youk would have a higher power number than Crawford and Drew.

[broiler]

based on postseason, i say give ross a little boost for SF.

[Gantry]

I really don't follow current players so I'm rather worthless, but Pena is what stood out to me on the Cubs

[Turd]

Thanks guys. That helps...quieter than normal, this section is....

[Shooty]

How were these rankings determined.  Seems so random. Just looking at the first bunch of teams:

Upton 807
Heyward 866
Uggla 905
Scott 910

Upton at 807 is way too low.  Scott seems high, etc.

Isn't there a formula that can be used to get a more accurate number?

I wouldthink that there should be some sort of weighted average based on the last 2 season's HR/AB or something

[Turd]

I had a formula for last year. I just wanted to try something new to see how it worked.

To be honest, I worked out a formula using ratings from MLB2k11. I wasn't 100% going to use them. It's just an experiment. Something to take the monotony out of hand rating players. I have less an less time these days, so I put a premium on playing instead of editing. Thought this might help.

What I'll probably do is use a hybrid of these and my formula.

[Turd]

Alright, so they are kind of random.  I'll just use my formula from last year. I think it works well...

[Nacho]

I looked at St. Louis since that is my favorite team.  Thought it seemed odd that Holliday was a bit lower than Rasmus.  Then I looked at Theriot's power number.  876?  How did you come up with that?

[BDawk]

875 + 1

[Turd]

Read above, it was an experiment using MLB2k11 ratings. I've abandoned this system, just wanted o see how it looked when I ran the whole rosters through.

[Barton]

Hope this is the right thread. Turd, on Reds pitchers, Rhodes doesn't play for them anymore. He signed with Texas. My suggestion for a replacement would be Aroldis Chapman. His fastball should be rated 105.1.

[Turd]

It's not the right thread, as there's a 2011 thread for the new ROM.  But your adjustment is noted...
