MLB 08: The Show team rankings
Here is the complete list of team ratings in MLB 08: The Show. These rankings are based off the new roster update. Because they use bars instead of numbers I won't be able to go into player ratings. SCEA will be providing weekly roster updates once again this year only they promise to go into even more detail than ever before with ratings adjustments in the updates. NL West Padres: Batting-23rd, Pitching-4th, Defense-23rd, Overall-17th Rockies: Batting-21st, Pitching-17th, Defense-3rd, ...

What position for RTTS?
Padre's Road to the Show career in MLB 08: The Show will begin soon (hopefully tomorrow) so I wanted to settle on the position to be played. The majority of suggestions that have been made were for an active defensive position such as SS or 2B or as a closer. I should be able to do good recaps and videos for those positions. Vote in the poll below for which you'd like to see Padre play. {democracy:20}...
