Not quite sure how they come up with these legends, Rich Aurilia was a good player but in absolutely no way a legend. I looked at his stats I think he made one All Star team and his best batting average was .324..... And last week was Brett Boone he was a good player but they stat him out as if her were Mickey Mantel

I know the stats are obviously skewed in relation to how he played in real life. That being said, he was still a monster of a shortstop, and was a fan favorite player in San Francisco.
Agreeing with you in general, but in my case I am pretty excited since he was a part of the Giants team I grew up watching.
That being said it probably has something to do with rights and whose name they can and can't use.
Yep. And it seems tier 7 at least in my case has been a 5* ( I would not even use ) tier 8 has always been a prime player that I did not have on my roster. I would imagine if your team had all primes tier 8 would be a another legend not on your roster. Again this is just my speculation since I do not have all the primes I can't be certain.
Oh ok I thought maybe they reserve some of those for later weeks to release, and that's why some of the lesser half of fame named players are released first. If that makes any sense at all, thanks for your response I appreciate it.
Yeah, it is very odd considering Boone's single season best OPS was .950, a huge outlier considering his career OPS was just .767. Harper's OPS last season was 1.109 OPS; yet, his "collection" isn't even as good as Boone's legend.
The legends on this game should only include guys like Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig, Barry Bonds, Jimmie Foxx, Hank Greenberg, Roger Hornsby, Manny Ramirez, Mark McGwire, Micky Mantle, etc.
If you want to go more recent, stick with Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Larry Walker, Todd Helton, Jim Thome, Lance Berkman, Chipper Jones, Carlos Delgado, etc.
So is Aurilia the best SS now at 12 | 9 | 4 - any Legends better? I know Ernie Banks is not that good.
Ozzie Smith was never known for his hitting - more of a defensive player (hence all of the gold gloves).
His stats on the game would be like 4-1-10
LY he was 9/4/12. Didn't really do much but you were almost always guaranteed a steal.
Really?! He only had one season where he hit .300+ and only had 28 HR over 19 seasons! He definitely had speed and defense, but those ratings are pretty inflated, but then again I guess they have Brett Boone where he is - granted, at least Boone had a couple of really good years.
Yep- I totally agree they're definitely inflated. In all honestly he was probably one of the weakest legends they had out. Even though he will go down as one of the greatest shortstops to ever play the game, especially with his glove.
