I don't think any of us who rate players for roster sets will agree with that.

A guy with max Power (250 out of 200) is someone who projects to hit about 67 HR every year. Stanton doesn't do that, so he doesn't get max Power. Even at 200/200, Stanton would project to hit more than 50 HR per year, which he doesn't do.

The top end of most ratings scales are reserved for guys who are once-in-baseball-history good. The best players in the league at something will usually get 160/200 ratings, though it depends on the category - speed and defense very often go higher, core batting ratings almost never.
