Wolf of 2K - Ratings Calculated 2018 Roster

[TheWolfof2K]

Hey guys,

So I'm slowly beginning work on a new roster for MLB 2k12, and while there's plenty of transactionally correct ones out there, I wanted to make one that had accurate ratings as well. I messed around with some old MLB The Show rating calculators to try and find a good formula that would work for 2K12 and I'm beginning to get some good results. That being said, I'm hoping to get some input from the community on whether these initial batter ratings seem fair, inaccurate, too volatile, etc. and any other criticisms you may have. Please keep in mind these were calculated from the batters split stats from the 2017 season (I have not gotten to pitching just yet) and an updated 2018 roster will be released if these ratings seem to work. Also, please try to keep team biases out of it so we can create a fair and usable roster for the whole community. 

- Cheers

Looks like a pretty good start.  I could quibble about a few of them, like Harper and Stanton being rated too high, but it's a start. Hope you can complete it, we need a good accurate roster especially after the TDL.
