How YOU can help with this FAQ If you want to assist me with anything in this FAQ or have any comments on existing information, please do not hesitate to e-mail me. Since Major League Baseball is so vast, it is hard to keep track of so many things going on at once. One of the main things I will be focusing on is obviously the ratings of players. Hitters are easier to rate than pitchers, because there really aren't any websites that breakdown the effectiveness of their pitches. You basically have to see the pitcher in action. Thus, I am always taking suggestions and information based on the pitches that a pitcher throws. How good their control is, how high/low the velocity is, how much movement, etc. Not all of the pitchers in MVP have their correct pitch types. Last year Braden Looper had a curveball, and now he does not (he has a Fastball, Splitter, and Cutter, which I believe are the three main pitches of his repertoire). It is probably more common for younger pitchers to have faulty pitch sets because they are still learning and incorporating pitches into their game plan. The Mets tried to force Jae Weong Seo to start using a 2-Seam Fastball, but it didn't go over very well. I'm not sure if Seo dropped the pitch, but if he still uses it I'll add it. I'm looking for stuff like that when it comes to pitchers, and there's only so much ground I can cover at once. Another thing I am looking for information on is batting stances, jersey numbers, what kind of glove a player uses, etc. I personally am not at all interested in stuff like that, but many other people are. I don't really look for things like that, so any changes that I make in those areas would be of the obvious kind. So most of the changes in those departments will be from other people submitting them to me. I will be properly crediting people who do contribute to this guide, so don't worry, I'm not going to steal information you send me and claim it as my own. At present time I do not fully understand the nature of Batter Tendencies. If someone could investigate and explain them to me, that would be great. One of the difficulties with editing them is that there isn't really any good source of information on what players are good/bad against certain pitch types. The obvious cases (players that cant hit breaking pitches to save their life) are easy to identify. For the moment, it's best to assume (hope) that EA got the majority of these ratings right, or at least as close to accurate as one can hope. This won't stop me from editing them if I find good cause, but I don't anticipate a cause in the immediate future. *********************************************************************** IV.

I will only be listing the changes made, which are usually going to be a number change or perhaps an obviously underrated area (many crappy minor leaguers have poor speed even though they are young and play positions that require mobility like second or third).

Edited Heath Bell, Victor Diaz, Mike Piazza, Chris Woodward, Randy Johnson, and Alex Rodriguez. Version 1.3 (6/22/05) I have to apologize; I haven't had nearly the time I anticipated having when I started this guide. I've also worked extensively on my NBA2K FAQ of late, making the final changes to most players. I've barely been able to watch baseball this season, I pretty much have only been updating like once every 2 weeks, when I actually get a chance to sit down and watch a baseball game. One of the things you might notice is that I'm in the process of reformatting my guide, to make it more visually appealing and have each player take up less space (so it doesn't take three years to scroll from one team to the next). Since most of you are looking at this guide for player ratings (especially since I have barely changed anything else due to lack of information or assistance) the focus of the guide should be on them. Once I get everything completely reformatted, the player editing on more teams than just the Mets should pick up pace. Added Brian Roberts, Mark Bellhorn, John Olerud, Jay Payton, Ken Griffey Jr., Brian Daubach, Lastings Milledge, Gerald Williams, Chris Woodward, and Albert Pujols. Edited Miguel Cairo, Mike Cameron, Victor Diaz, Cliff Floyd, Pedro Martinez, Kazuo Matsui, Doug Mientkiewicz, Mike Piazza, Jose Reyes, David Wright, Bubba Crosby, and Jason Giambi. Version 1.2 (5/9/05) Added Miguel Cairo, Danny Garcia, Aubrey Huff, Alex S. Gonzalez, Joe Hietpas, Randy Johnson, Bubba Crosby, Heath Bell, and Brett Myers. Edited Steve Trachsel, Aaron Heilman, Grant Roberts, Victor Diaz, Carlos Beltran, Mike Piazza, Kazuo Matsui, Cliff Floyd, and David Wright. Created Manny Aybar, and Dae-Sung Koo. Edited John Franco. Version 1.1 (4/8/05) Added Braden Looper, Cliff Floyd, Aaron Heilman, Eric Valent, Grant Roberts, Joe McEwing, Andy Dominique, Jason Giambi, Pedro Martinez, Roberto Alomar, Derek Jeter, Vladimir Guerrero, and Alex Rodriguez. Edited Jae Weong Seo, and Victor Diaz. Created Royce Ring. Edited Mike Glavine. Version 1.0 (3/8/05) Put out the layout of the FAQ to get it up there. Most of you will probably notice a Mets theme among the players so far. That's my team, so I know them best, which means they're the easiest to put up (and probably the most accurate). Added Esix Snead, Carlos Beltran, David Wright, Kazuo Matsui, Jose Reyes, Steve Trachsel, Mike Cameron, Jae Weong Seo, Mike Piazza, Doug Mientkiewicz, Victor Diaz, Jason Phillips, and Jeff Duncan. Created John Franco, Mike Glavine, Jeremy Hill, Prentice Redman, Jerrod Riggan, Jason Roach, and Pat Strange. *********************************************************************** VI. How do the ratings work? First, what are the rating categories? (NOTE: What I am listing the rating as will be in parenthesize). Highest Hitter Value: 2575 Highest Pitcher Value: 3465 (6040 w/hitter ratings) Offensive Value (Offensive Value) Contact vs RHP (RHP Contact) Contact vs LHP (LHP Contact) Power vs RHP (RHP Power) Power vs LHP (LHP Power) Bunting (Bunting) Plate Discipline (Discipline) Durability (Durability) Speed (Speed) Stealing Tendency (Stealing) Baserunning Ability (Baserunning) Fielding (Fielding) Range (Range) Throwing Strength (Strength) Throwing Accuracy (Accuracy) Pitching Value (Pitching Value) Stamina (Stamina) Pickoff (Pickoff) Fastball Overall (Fastball Overall) Fastball Control (Fastball Control) Fastball Velocity (Fastball Velocity) PitchX Overall PitchX Movement PitchX Trajectory PitchX Control PitchX Velocity ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, what do the ratings do? Offensive Value - A stat that was in previous MVPs used to determine how useful a player is on offense. Default Offensive Value is 100, and goes up in intervals of 33. The intervals are 55, 60, 70, 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, and 99, and the categories that affect offensive value are power, contact, and speed. For example if a player has 70 in both contact areas, 60 in one power rating and 80 in the other, with a 93 speed, this player would have an offensive value of 793. (21 intervals times 33 equals 693, plus 100 equals 793). Contact vs RHP - Determines how easy/hard it will be to hit a pitch made by a right-handed pitcher. Contact vs LHP - Determines how easy/hard it will be to hit a pitch made by a left-handed pitcher. Power vs RHP - Determines how hard hits will be on contact against right handed pitching. Power vs LHP - Determines how hard hits will be on contact against left handed pitching. Bunting - A player's skill at sacrifice bunts or bunting for a hit. Plate Discipline - Determines how patient a player is at the plate, between taking pitches, not swinging at bad pitches, and not striking out. Durability - A player's resistance to injury and fatigue. Speed - How fast a player is on the basepaths. Stealing Tendency - How frequently a player tries to steal a base. Baserunning Ability - A player's skill at rounding the basepaths, may be related to sliding ability and not getting picked off while trying to steal. Fielding - The lower the number, the higher the red bar in the fielding gauge. Range - How much ground a player covers defensively. Throwing Strength - How hard/fast a player's throws the ball on defense. Throwing Accuracy - How accurate a player's throws are on defense. Pitching Value - Similar to Offensive Value, except the rating categories that affect it are Stamina, Fastball Control, Fastball Velocity, and the Control ratings of any additional pitches. Stamina - How long a pitcher can pitch before getting tired. Pickoff - How effective a pitcher is at catching runners trying to steal. Fastball Overall - The value of the pitcher's fastball, determined by control and velocity. Fastball Control - Determines the accuracy of a pitcher's fastball. Fastball Velocity - Determines how fast a pitcher's fastball is thrown. PitchX - X stands for the pitching number (#2-5). The possible pitch types are the Changeup, Curveball, Knuckleball PitchX Overall - The value of a pitcher's non-fastball pitches (#2-5 if applicable), determined by the pitches' movement, control, and velocity. PitchX Movement - Determines how far a pitch will move after being thrown. For instance a changeup with low movement will go straight ahead, while a changeup with more movement will drop a bit more. PitchX Trajectory - Determines the direction a pitch will move after it is thrown. Not technically a rating, but still affects a pitch. A Curveball with 12-6 Trajectory is very different than one with 10-4 Trajectory. The numbers in trajectory are symbolic of those on a clock. 12-6 is a completely vertical drop, while 10-4 is more of a diagonal. Different pitches have different trajectory types. PitchX Control - Determines the accuracy of a pitcher's secondary pitch. PitchX Velocity - Determines how fast a pitcher's fastball is thrown. Unlike a fastball (which is obviously designed to be fast), Velocity does not necessarily mean "better". Since part of pitching is trying to fool the batter, using pitches with different speeds will help keep them off balance. The effectiveness of a 75-MPH Curveball and a 70-MPH Curveball depends on the other pitches used in conjunction with it. *********************************************************************** VII. The ratings Player ratings are currently alphabetized by team, and then by last name. If you want to find the ratings for specific players, Ctrl + F is your best friend. Seriously. If you ever complain about not being able to find something in an FAQ, it means you are computer illiterate. Ctrl + F is very easy, it is one of the more basic functions of using a computer. Press the Ctrl key. Hold it. Then press F. Then enter the name of something you are searching for. Make sure you can spell it correctly. You don't even need the full name. If you're looking for Mike Piazza, you can put "Piazza", or even "Pia" and get the result you are looking for. If you're looking for someone with a common last name like Gonzalez, you can put the last letter of that player's first name and search. For instance if you want to find Juan Gonzalez, then searching for "Juan Gon" or even "n Gon" would likely bring you to him. *********************************************************************** ANA.

It's carried over to the majors too - in his first 20 ABs in the majors he has 5 walks, and 0 strikeouts (and 3 of his 4 hits were homers, though he did not have great homer totals in the minors). Kotchman is also a future gold glover at first base. Kotch looks a lot like the Mark Grace/John Olerud type of player.

Wood might switch to 3B because of his size, and also because the Angels have a lot of depth at SS.

Jackson isn't good defensively though, and will probably end up being a first baseman. However, for whatever reason the Diamondbacks decided to give Tony Clark a 2-year extension based on the fluke season he's having. Why? It's just going to impede the progress of Jackson. Jackson may become trade bait if the Diamondbacks feel they want to fill another area of need.

Even though he skipped Triple-A and didn't hit particularly amazing at Double-A, Francoeur has been an absolute monster for the Braves since being called up. He has hit for a high average and power as pitchers continue to test his bat (finally drew his first walk after hitting 10 homers), and has many outfield assists as runners continue to test his arm (at a rate of an assist per 30 innings).

The two-seam fastball is his out pitch; he uses it like a Cutter.

Neutral BL: Neutral BL: Neutral B: Neutral B: Neutral BR: Neutral BR: Neutral NOTES In my opinion the 2002 AL MVP should have been Alex Rodriguez. Tejada had a .308 average and only 34 home runs. His OPS was a paltry .861. But since the A's were a playoff team (mostly due to their great pitching) somebody had to get the award, because god forbid they give it to the best player (and what did the MVP do when he got to the playoffs? He batted .143, totaling 3 hits and 7 strikeouts). Fortunately the lash back of giving it to the weakest MVP candidate in years (Tejada) is what led to A-Rod getting the award the following year. MVP should go to the best player. They already have awards for so-so players on great teams; it's called a World Series ring. I will say that Tejada was very underrated until he got that MVP. He was viewed as the next best guy after the big three (A-Rod/Jeter/Nomar), but ended up being MVP before any of them. Since A-Rod has moved to third base, Tejada has taken his place as the best SS in the AL. And since he's younger, he's entering his prime and putting up the best numbers of his career. Jeter and Nomar on the other hand are 31 and 32 years old respectively and are not the players they were in the late 90s.

He started off the 2001 season with a 1-6 record and an 8.24 ERA. Trachsel accepted a demotion to AAA Norfolk. He made three starts going 2-0, and also threw a minor league no-hitter (7 innings). Trachsel finished off the year with an 11-13 record and a 4.46 era. He was the team's best pitcher for the rest of the season as the team nearly snuck into the playoffs. Since 2001, Trachsel has recorded more wins than any other Met pitcher, and has thrown 4 shutouts in the last 4 years. It looks like Trachsel could be at a career crossroads again though. He is going to miss at least half of the season, perhaps the entire season. If Trachsel had pitched a certain number of innings this year (something he was practically considered a lock to do) it would have activated another year on his contract after this one. Now it looks like he's going to be a free agent coming off a year of injury, and will be entering his 35th year. There are plenty of pitchers that don't make it back when they reach that age (Denny Neagle, Shane Reynolds, etc) so Trachsel's days as an effective starter (and his days with the Mets) could soon be over. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamie Walker (Change from Daryl Smith) First Position: RP Career Potential: *** (from **) Age: 35 (from 33) Jersey Number: 32 (from 86) Face: 4 (from 11) Facial Hair: 7 (from 1) PITCHER RATINGS Pitcher Delivery: Style 8 Pitching Value Stamina 41 (down from 44) Pickoff 65 PITCH #1 [4-Seam Fastball] Overall 85 (up from 84) Control 83 (up from 80) Velocity 87 PITCH #2 [Changeup] Overall 77 (up from 75) Movement 55 (up from 50) Trajectory 12-to-6 Control 83 Velocity 73 PITCH #3 [Curveball] Overall 78 (up from 71) Movement 50 (up from 30) Trajectory 1-to-7 Control 84 Velocity 70 PITCH #4 [Slider] (from None) Overall 82 (from N/A) Movement 65 (from N/A) Trajectory 2-to-8 (from N/A) Control 85 (from N/A) Velocity 84 (from N/A) PITCH #5 [None] Overall N/A Movement N/A Trajectory N/A Control N/A Velocity N/A ROLE LH Specialist ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Eli Whiteside (Added in Online Download) GENERAL INFORMATION First Position: C Second Position: None Career Potential: ** Age: 27 (from 25) Jersey Number: 15 BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: High Offensive Value RHP-Contact 41 LHP-Contact 53 RHP-Power 42 LHP-Power 54 Bunting 60 Discipline 55 Durability 50 Speed 49 Stealing 20 Baserunning 50 Fielding 75 Range 75 Strength 80 Accuracy 65 ROLE Double-A Catcher ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Todd Williams First Position: RP Career Potential: ** (from *) Age: 36 (from 34) Jersey Number: 30 (from 53) PITCHER RATINGS Pitcher Delivery: Style 1 Pitching Value Stamina 46 Pickoff 60 PITCH #1 [4-Seam Fastball] Overall 84 Control 64 Velocity 92 PITCH #2 [Changeup] Overall 66 (up from 61) Movement 40 (up from 20) Trajectory 12-to-6 Control 61 (up from 58) Velocity 75 PITCH #3 [Slider] Overall 71 Movement 55 Trajectory 10-to-4 Control 63 Velocity 80 PITCH #4 [Sinker] (from None) Overall 70 (from N/A) Movement 55 (from N/A) Trajectory 12-to-6 (from N/A) Control 60 (from N/A) Velocity 88 (from N/A) PITCH #5 [None] Overall N/A Movement N/A Trajectory N/A Control N/A Velocity N/A ROLE RH Middle Relief ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Williamson First Position: RP Career Potential: *** Age: 31 (from 29) Jersey Number: 51 (from 27) Durability 40 (down from 55) PITCHER RATINGS Pitcher Delivery: Style 2 Pitching Value 1123 (down from 1156) Stamina 45 Pickoff 65 PITCH #1 [4-Seam Fastball] Overall 92 (up from 91) Control 76 (down from 81) Velocity 96 (up from 94) PITCH #2 [Slider] Overall 84 (down from 91) Movement 75 (down from 80) Trajectory 10-to-4 Control 77 (down from 92) Velocity 86 PITCH #3 [Splitter] Overall 81 (up from 72) Movement 65 (up from 40) Trajectory 12-to-6 Control 80 Velocity 86 PITCH #4 [2-Seam Fastball] Overall 76 (down from 80) Movement 55 Trajectory 2-to-8 Control 78 (down from 90) Velocity 91 PITCH #5 [Changeup] (from None) Overall 70 (from N/A) Movement 40 (from N/A) Trajectory 12-to-6 (from N/A) Control 74 (from N/A) Velocity 80 (from N/A) ROLE RH Middle Relief LINKS http://orioles.scout.com/2/595448.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jaret Wright First Position: SP Career Potential: *** (from ****) Age: 31 (from 29) Jersey Number: 34 (from 33) PITCHER RATINGS Pitcher Delivery: Style 3 Pitching Value Stamina 74 (down from 84) Pickoff 55 PITCH #1 [4-Seam Fastball] Overall 89 (down from 91) Control 74 (down from 77) Velocity 94 (down from 95) PITCH #2 [Changeup] Overall 72 (down from 73) Movement 50 Trajectory 10-to-4 Control 74 (down from 77) Velocity 83 (up from 79) PITCH #3 [Curveball] Overall 77 (down from 78) Movement 60 Trajectory 11-to-5 Control 75 (down from 78) Velocity 78 (up from 74) PITCH #4 [2-Seam Fastball] Overall 74 Movement 55 Trajectory 2-to-8 Control 73 Velocity 91 PITCH #5 [None] Overall N/A Movement N/A Trajectory N/A Control N/A Velocity N/A ROLE Starting Pitcher ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *********************************************************************** BOS.

home run, and was third in MVP voting that year. He had the steals mark a week before the season ended, but couldn't get the 40th homer because he was pressing too much for it. Then when the playoffs came along he hit poorly because he had spent the last week swinging for the fences rather than swinging normally, and the Yanks were dispatched by the Angels. Soriano had a chance to redeem himself the following year, but he would strikeout in wild fashion in many of his at bats. The Yankees traded him to the Rangers for Alex Rodriguez. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Daryle Ward First Position: 1B Second Position: LF Career Potential: ** (from ***) Age: 31 (from 29) Jersey Number: 32 (from 31) BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Open Offensive Value RHP-Contact 71 (up from 61) LHP-Contact 48 (down from 73) RHP-Power 70 (down from 73) LHP-Power 65 (down from 70) Bunting 10 (down from 60) Discipline 60 Durability 60 (up from 50) Speed 50 (up from 47) Stealing 0 Baserunning 20 Fielding 50 Range 50 Strength 50 Accuracy 60 ROLE Backup First Baseman/Outfielder ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kerry Wood First Position: RP (from SP) Career Potential: ***** Age: 29 (from 27) Jersey Number: 34 PITCHER RATINGS Pitcher Delivery: Style 2 Pitching Value 991 (down from 1057) Stamina 85 (down from 90) Pickoff 70 PITCH #1 [4-Seam Fastball] Overall 94 (down from 95) Control 86 (down from 89) Velocity 95 PITCH #2 [Changeup] Overall 64 (down from 68) Movement 10 Trajectory 10-to-4 Control 74 (down from 87) Velocity 77 PITCH #3 [Curveball] Overall 83 (up from 80) Movement 85 Trajectory 11-to-5 Control 59 (up from 51) Velocity 71 PITCH #4 [Slider] Overall 71 Movement 55 Trajectory 10-to-4 Control 64 Velocity 84 PITCH #5 [None] Overall N/A Movement N/A Trajectory N/A Control N/A Velocity N/A ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Carlos Zambrano GENERAL INFORMATION Birthday: June 1, 1981 First Position: SP Second Position: None Throws: Left Bats: Switch Career Potential: ***** (from ****) Batter Music: Latin Age: 25 (from 23) Years Pro: 4 All-Star selections: 1 (2004) Postseason Experience: LCS 1x, LDS 1x (3 games, 1-1 series record, 0-1 pitching record, 5.40 era) Current Team: Cubs (101) APPEARANCE EQUIPMENT Jersey Number: 38 Bat Color: 1 Height: 6'5" Fielding Glove: 3 Weight: 255 Elbow Guard: None Body Type: Heavy Shin Guard: None Face: 1 Wristband: None Hair Color: 1 Socks: Low Hair Style: 1 Catcher Mask: 1 Facial Hair: 1 Batting Gloves: On BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Generic Offensive Value 133 (up from 100) RHP-Contact 50 LHP-Contact 42 RHP-Power 58 (up from 43) LHP-Power 46 Bunting 50 Discipline 30 Durability 70 Speed 44 (up from 42) Stealing 0 Baserunning 30 (up from 10) Fielding 65 Range 70 Strength 80 Accuracy 75 BATTER TENDENCIES [FASTBALL] [CURVEBALL] [SLIDER] Take LHP 60 Take LHP 55 Take LHP 40 Take RHP 50 Take RHP 55 Take RHP 40 Miss LHP 50 Miss LHP 60 Miss LHP 55 Miss RHP 75 Miss RHP 0 Miss RHP 0 Chase LHP 85 Chase LHP 99 Chase LHP 0 Chase RHP 80 Chase RHP 99 Chase RHP 95 HOT/COLD ZONES VS LHP HOT/COLD ZONES VS RHP TL: Cold TL: Cold T: Neutral T: Hot TR: Cold TR: Neutral L: Cold L: Neutral C: Hot C: Cold R: Neutral R: Cold BL: Hot BL: Hot B: Hot B: Neutral BR: Cold BR: Cold PITCHER RATINGS Pitcher Delivery: Style 2 Pitching Value 1618 (up from 1519) Stamina 96 (up from 93) Pickoff 75 PITCH #1 [4-Seam Fastball] Overall 93 Control 83 Velocity 95 PITCH #2 [Curveball] Overall 76 Movement 60 Trajectory 12-to-6 Control 71 Velocity 75 PITCH #3 [Slider] Overall 81 (up from 78) Movement 70 (up from 65) Trajectory 10-to-4 Control 73 Velocity 82 PITCH #4 [Splitter] Overall 85 Movement 70 Trajectory 10-to-4 Control 80 Velocity 87 PITCH #5 [2-Seam Fastball] Overall 91 Movement 90 Trajectory 2-to-8 Control 80 Velocity 92 *Also throws Changeup.

Almost half of his 2004 plate appearances resulted in a strikeout, walk, or home run. Bellhorn signed with the Padres, where he'll be able to compete for a starting job. Petco Park will probably kill Bellhorn's power though, which will just leave him with the strikeouts and walks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- JUNG BONG First Position: SP Career Potential: ** Age: 26 (from 24) Jersey Number: 51 (from 31) NOTES Bong has had a terrible year.

A gold glover on Japan's artificial turf, Matsui struggled to adjust to grass. He also failed as a leadoff hitter, with a poor K/BB ratio, and swung for power at the top of the lineup rather than for average. To his credit, Matsui picked up his batting around May/June when a flaw was noticed in his swing, and he became good at slapping balls into left for singles. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CHRIS NELSON (Top 100, Change from Adam Murphy) First Position: SS Second Position: None Career Potential: *** Age: 21 (from 19) Jersey Number: 29 BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Open Offensive Value 166 RHP-Contact 27 LHP-Contact 40 RHP-Power 32 LHP-Power 34 Bunting 85 Discipline 60 Durability 65 Speed 68 Stealing 65 Baserunning 65 Fielding 70 Range 65 Strength 80 Accuracy 70 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OMAR QUINTANILLA (Added in Online Download) First Position: SS Second Position: 2B (from IF) Career Potential: ** Age: 27 (from 25) Jersey Number: 6 (from 8) BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Open Offensive Value RHP-Contact 54 (down from 56) LHP-Contact 40 (down from 41) RHP-Power 42 (down from 48) LHP-Power 40 (down from 49) Bunting 75 Discipline 50 Durability 75 (down from 85) Speed 63 (up from 58) Stealing 50 Baserunning 70 Fielding 75 (up from 70) Range 75 (up from 60) Strength 65 Accuracy 60 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ryan Spilborghs (Added in Online Download) First Position: LF Second Position: OF Career Potential: ** Age: 27 (from 25) Jersey Number: 6 (from 8) BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Bent Offensive Value 430 (up from 166) RHP-Contact 66 (up from 41) LHP-Contact 73 (up from 48) RHP-Power 60 (up from 50) LHP-Power 56 Bunting 60 Discipline 65 Durability 60 Speed 69 (up from 59) Stealing 70 (up from 50) Baserunning 65 Fielding 75 Range 75 (up from 70) Strength 50 Accuracy 60 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ian Stewart (Top 100, Change from Randy Klann) First Position: 3B Second Position: None Career Potential: **** Age: 21 (from 19) Jersey Number: 26 BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Upright Offensive Value 166 (up from 100) RHP-Contact 55 (up from 50) LHP-Contact 42 (up from 37) RHP-Power 58 (up from 43) LHP-Power 52 (up from 37) Bunting 55 Discipline 70 Durability 65 Speed 53 Stealing 30 Baserunning 75 Fielding 75 Range 65 Strength 85 Accuracy 60 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cory Sullivan (Added in Online Download) First Position: CF (from LF) Second Position: OF Career Potential: ** Age: 27 (from 25) Jersey Number: 31 BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Generic Offensive Value 430 (up from 166) RHP-Contact 69 (up from 64) LHP-Contact 59 RHP-Power 55 LHP-Power 58 (up from 50) Bunting 95 (up from 65) Discipline 55 (up from 50) Durability 70 (up from 65) Speed 85 (up from 80) Stealing 70 Baserunning 60 Fielding 70 Range 80 (up from 70) Strength 75 Accuracy 70 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WILLY TAVERAS (Top 100) GENERAL INFORMATION Birthday: December 25, 1981 First Position: CF Second Position: OF Throws: Right Bats: Right Career Potential: *** Batter Music: Latin Age: 25 (from 23) Years Pro: 1 Postseason Experience: None Current Team: Astros (10) APPEARANCE EQUIPMENT Jersey Number: 3 (from 1) Bat Color: 4 Height: 6'0" Fielding Glove: 2 Weight: 160 Elbow Guard: None Body Type: Skinny Shin Guard: None Face: 1 Wristband: None Hair Color: 1 Socks: Low Hair Style: 8 Catcher Mask: 1 Facial Hair: 7 Batting Gloves: On BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Open Offensive Value 727 (up from 265) RHP-Contact 76(up from 50) LHP-Contact 61 (up from 41) RHP-Power 43 (up from 40) LHP-Power 46 (up from 44) Bunting 95 (up from 65) Discipline 55 (down from 65) Durability 80 (up from 60) Speed 97 (up from 88) Stealing 90 (up from 70) Baserunning 95 Fielding 80 Range 90 (up from 80) Strength 75 (up from 65) Accuracy 75 (up from 70) BATTER TENDENCIES [FASTBALL] [CURVEBALL] [SLIDER] Take LHP 90 Take LHP 80 Take LHP 65 Take RHP 90 Take RHP 80 Take RHP 65 Miss LHP 40 Miss LHP 55 Miss LHP 70 Miss RHP 40 Miss RHP 55 Miss RHP 70 Chase LHP 65 Chase LHP 55 Chase LHP 0 Chase RHP 65 Chase RHP 55 Chase RHP 30 HOT/COLD ZONES VS LHP HOT COLD ZONES VS RHP TL: Cold TL: Cold T: Neutral T: Neutral TR: Cold TR: Neutral L: Neutral L: Neutral C: Hot C: Neutral R: Neutral R: Neutral BL: Cold BL: Cold B: Neutral B: Neutral BR: Cold BR: Cold NOTES Currently making Houston fans forget about Carlos Beltran.

With Edgar Renteria locked up for a few years, the Red Sox were able to add Hanley to the Josh Beckett trade. Hanley will soon be one of the top shortstops in the NL, where his speed is more of an asset.

ineffective the last few years. The last time he pitched this well was back in 2000. Moehler is still the same pitcher he was before; the only reasons his ERA is lower is he's pitching in a friendlier league (NL pitchers tend to have lower ERA's than AL pitchers) and he's a ground ball pitcher pitching at Florida's ground ball friendly Pro Player Stadium. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ERIC MUNSON First Position: C (from 3B) Second

starter for a few years. When he showed signs of becoming a high- quality starting pitcher (by throwing a 1-hit shutout), he was moved to the bullpen, where he thrived and was the Mets top reliever in 2005. The Mets aren't as deep in the rotation this year, having traded Jae Seo and Kris Benson for relievers. It was assumed Heilman would return to starting, which is what he wants, but the Mets instead have decided on an inferior rotation that includes Brian Bannister and Victor Zambrano (as well as nobody in the minors that can start should someone like Pedro get hurt).

He brought them a championship. While Pedro wasn't as effective as he usually was in 2004, he is now making a switch to the NL at the right time. NL pitchers seem to have a full ERA less than most AL pitchers, partly because of the DH, and partly because they don't go as deep into ball games thanks to them being pinch hit for. Martinez went longer than 7 innings only 4 times last year. That also means the Mets bullpen will have to be great for him to get some wins (and the offense will have to provide more runs, although Pedro is used to not getting run support).

It was leaked that Giambi gave grand jury testimony that indicated he took steroids, and he should figure to be a lightning rod for criticism this season. One thing I have always argued though as that Giambi should have been AL MVP in 2001, his best season (he was AL MVP in 2000). Ichiro was the AL MVP in 2001, based mostly on media hype than his actual production. Seattle had a great year as a team that year, but a lot of this had to do with Bret Boone having a career year, as well as other notable players putting it together. Ichiro led the league in batting average, but he wasn't even top ten in OBP. Giambi led the league in OBP, SLG, OPS, Doubles, Walks, Extra Base Hits, and Times on Base. However, he was "only" second in batting average, which I guess is why he clearly was not better than Ichiro. Ichiro only had 48 extra base hits in 2001. Giambi on the other hand had 47 DOUBLES. Ichiro did lead the AL with 56 steals, but I'll take 139 walks over 56 steals. Of course, people usually say that "MVP doesn't go to the best player, it goes to the most valuable". Well, not for nothing, but the A's won only 14 fewer games than the Mariners, despite the fact that the only other player on the team that could hit worth a damn besides Giambi was Eric Chavez. The Mariners had 8 all- stars on their 116-win team. Giambi on the other hand was the ONLY all-star on his 102 win team. Do the math on that one.

Last season he became the all-time leader in home runs among catchers. Sadly his career has taken a sharp decline, just as it did to Johnny Bench. Piazza was once a lock to hit at least .300, now he hasn't hit that in four years. He has likely played his final season with the Mets.

He once had 4 home runs in a single game, and nearly had 5 (he was walked in his fifth AB). In a game against the Expos in 2004, Cameron had a verbal exchange with a fan that was taunting him. The fan said he'd go back to his seat if Cameron hit a home run. Cameron hit a home run. The fan stayed until Cameron's next AB and then started to go back to his seat, but Cameron told him not to leave. He told the fan to stay there and "watch this", and Cameron hit another home run. So certainly Cameron has excellent power, probably 50-homer power if he hit for a higher average. But since he doesn't make contact enough, he has low batting averages and high strikeout totals. He isn't a free swinger, as he draws a high amount of walks, he's just not a good contact hitter. Even though he has good patience, he still chases his share of breaking pitches, which leads to his high strikeouts. Cameron is also capable of stealing 30 bases, which is actually quite high since he doesn't get on base as often as most top of the order players. He stole 22 bases on a .319 OBP last year. Ichiro by comparison stole 36 bases on a .414 OBP last year, with over 200 more ABs. Cameron had 61 extra base hits to Ichiro's 37 (it's easier to steal on a single), so clearly Cameron is very aggressive on the basepaths when he gets there. But enough with breaking down his 30/30 potential and offensive contributions, Cameron is known for his defensive capabilities. He is a gold glove caliber outfielder with excellent range, and despite having a sub par season defensively; it was still enough to vastly improve the Mets outfield defense. The Mets signing of Carlos Beltran moves Cameron to right field, a move he is not happy with, but one he and the Mets could benefit from. Beltran/Cameron in the outfield could be reminiscent of Cameron/Ichiro. As Joe Torre will tell you, pitching and defense win championships. The Mets have a deep starting rotation, and having two gold glove caliber outfielders (as well as a gold glove caliber first baseman and other solid infielders) could spell good things for the organization. It's clear that many of Cameron's abilities stem from him being such an impressive athlete, which could spell a quick end for his days as a starter if injuries become problematic.

Roberto Alomar trade. He is expected to make his major league debut this season. He is similar to Mike Stanton but depends on his Slider more than his Curveball. Ring was once a flamethrower, but has lost velocity on his fastball. He used to throw it 95+ MPH in college, but now he throws it 91-93 MPH. He's since become a breaking ball pitcher. He can close part time (ala Stanton), but not full time because he doesn't have a plus fastball anymore.

Velocity 93 (down from 95) *Also throws Knucklecurve NOTES King Felix was ranked by Baseball America as the best pitching prospect, and second best prospect in baseball. The last player who dominated at Felix's age was Dwight Gooden. He throws 97 MPH and since his frame hasn't completely filled out yet he has the potential to throw even harder. His curve comes in hard and fast, while his slider is in the 88-90 MPH range. He also has a great ground ball ratio. The Mariners just called up their pitching phenom, so it will be interesting to see how he performs in the majors at the young age of 19.

won a World Series in 2003 as the setup man for the Florida Marlins. He was the closer prior to the acquisition of Ugueth Urbina. He signed with the Mets to be their closer. He had a good year in 2004 but has had his struggles in 2005, as his K rates are way down from the previous year. As a groundball pitcher, his stuff isn't quite good enough to be considered closer stuff. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Eli Marrero First Position: RF Second Position: UTIL Career Potential: ** Age: 33 (from 31) Jersey Number: 32 (from 16) BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Open Offensive Value 496 (down from 529) RHP-Contact 61 (down from 66) LHP-Contact 68 (down from 85) RHP-Power 61 (up from 56) LHP-Power 71 (down from 81) Bunting 80 Discipline 60 Durability 60 Speed 61 (up from 55) Stealing 60 Baserunning 85 Fielding 70 (down from 75) Range 70 Strength 70 (down from 75) Accuracy 65 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Orber Moreno GENERAL INFORMATION Birthday: April 27, 1977 First Position: RP (from SP) Second Position: None Throws: Right Bats: Right Career Potential: ** (up from *) Batter Music: Latin Age: 29 (from 27) Years Pro: 3 Postseason Experience: None Former Teams: Royals (7) Current Team: Mets (40) APPEARANCE EQUIPMENT Jersey Number: 49 Bat Color: 5 Height: 6'3" Fielding Glove: 5 Weight: 200 Elbow Guard: None Body Type: Skinny Shin Guard: None Face: 1 Wristband: None Hair Color: 1 Socks: Regular Hair Style: 4 Catcher Mask: 1 Facial Hair: 1 Batting Gloves: On BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Crouched Offensive Value 100 RHP-Contact 20 LHP-Contact 23 RHP-Power 21 LHP-Power 25 Bunting 65 Discipline 10 Durability 60 Speed 41 Stealing 0 Baserunning 40 Fielding 40 Range 55 Strength 75 Accuracy 60 BATTER TENDENCIES [FASTBALL] [CURVEBALL] [SLIDER] Take LHP 85 Take LHP 75 Take LHP 60 Take RHP 85 Take RHP 75 Take RHP 60 Miss LHP 50 Miss LHP 60 Miss LHP 75 Miss RHP 50 Miss RHP 60 Miss RHP 75 Chase LHP 70 Chase LHP 60 Chase LHP 75 Chase RHP 70 Chase RHP 60 Chase RHP 40 HOT/COLD ZONES VS LHP HOT/COLD ZONES VS RHP TL: Cold TL: Cold T: Neutral T: Neutral TR: Cold TR: Neutral L: Neutral L: Neutral C: Hot C: Neutral R: Neutral R: Neutral BL: Cold BL: Cold B: Neutral B: Neutral BR: Cold BR: Cold PITCHER RATINGS Pitcher Delivery: Style 3 Pitching Value 628 (up from 529) Stamina 45 Pickoff 40 PITCH #1 [4-Seam Fastball] Overall 81 Control 67 Velocity 88 PITCH #2 [Changeup] Overall 73 Movement 65 Trajectory 12-to-6 Control 56 Velocity 74 PITCH #3 [Curveball] Overall 78 Movement 60 Trajectory 11-to-5 Control 79 Velocity 72 PITCH #4 [2-Seam Fastball] Overall 65 Movement 30 Trajectory 1-to-7 Control 64 Velocity 85 PITCH #5 [Slider] (from None) Overall 78 (from N/A) Movement 65 (from N/A) Trajectory 10-to-4 (from N/A) Control 72 (from N/A) Velocity 83 (from N/A) NOTES Moreno, once considered the Royals closer of the future, has had his career decimated by injuries. Last year Moreno had a 3.38 ERA (3-1, l save) with a good K/BB ratio out of the bullpen for the Mets last season before injuries again took their toll. He'll be looked at to reproduce that as the Mets bullpen is unproven and shallow this year. Unfortunately, he'll have to wait since he's still recovering from shoulder surgery. Moreno was recently cleared to start pitching again in Double A. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Albert Pujols GENERAL INFORMATION Birthday: January 16, 1980 First Position: 1B Second Position: None (from LF) Throws: Right Bats: Right Career Potential: ***** Batter Music: Latin Age: 27 (from 25) Years Pro: 5 All-Star selections: 5 (2001, 2003-2006) NL Most Valuable Player: 1 (2005) NL Gold Glove (1B): 1 (2006) NL Rookie of Year: 1 (2001) Silver Slugger (1B): 1 (2004) Silver Slugger (3B): 1 (2001) Silver Slugger (OF): 1 (2003) Batting Titles: 1 (2003) Slugging Leader: 1 (2006) OPS Leader: 1 (2006) Runs Leader: 3 (2003-2005) Hits Leader: 1 (2003) Doubles Leader: 1 (2003) Postseason Experience: WS 1x, LCS 2x, LDS 3x (28 games, 3-3 series record, .324 BA, 1.037 OPS) Current Team: Cardinals (629) APPEARANCE EQUIPMENT Jersey Number: 5 Bat Color: 1 Height: 6'3" Fielding Glove: 3 Weight: 225 Elbow Guard: None Body Type: Athletic Shin Guard: None Face: 1 Wristband: 4 Hair Color: 1 Socks: Regular Hair Style: 1 Catcher Mask: 1 Facial Hair: 1 Batting Gloves: On BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: A.

Period. Last year EA had him rated a little too good though. They gave him 98 RHP Contact. Pujols is good against righties, but he isn't the best in baseball against them, and he sure doesn't kill them as badly as he does lefties. I gave him a 92 last year - EA correctly gave him a 91 this year. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- John Rodriguez (Added in Online Download) First Position: LF (from RF) Second Position: RF (from OF) Career Potential: ** Age: 29 (from 27) Jersey Number: 53 BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Upright Offensive Value 463 (up from 133) RHP-Contact 78 (up from 51) LHP-Contact 65 (up from 45) RHP-Power 62 (up from 46) LHP-Power 65 (up from 48) Bunting 65 Discipline 60 (up from 55) Durability 60 Speed 60 (up from 57) Stealing 65 Baserunning 75 Fielding 75 Range 60 Strength 75 (down from 90) Accuracy 60 ROLE Backup Left Fielder ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Rolen First Position: 3B Second Position: None Career Potential: ***** Age: 31 (from 29) Jersey Number: 27 BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Crouched Offensive Value 859 (down from 1123) RHP-Contact 83 LHP-Contact 92 (down from 97) RHP-Power 83 (down from 88) LHP-Power 86 (down from 91) Bunting 20 Discipline 80 Durability 80 Speed 64 Stealing 70 Baserunning 75 Fielding 99 Range 95 Strength 90 Accuracy 90 ROLE All-Star Third Baseman ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kelly Stinnett First Position: C Second Position: None Career Potential: ** (from *) Age: 37 (from 35) Jersey Number: 35 (from 18) BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Crouched Offensive Value 232 (down from 265) RHP-Contact 65 (down from 70) LHP-Contact 47 RHP-Power 62 LHP-Power 40 Bunting 65 Discipline 65 Durability 50 Speed 46 Stealing 20 Baserunning 40 Fielding 85 Range 75 Strength 75 Accuracy 80 ROLE Triple-A Catcher ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam Wainwright (Added in Online Download) First Position: SP Career Potential: *** (from **) Age: 25 (from 23) Jersey Number: 50 (from 60) PITCHER RATINGS Pitcher Delivery: Style 2 Pitching Value 826 (up from 760) Stamina 65 (down from 70) Pickoff 55 PITCH #1 [4-Seam Fastball] Overall 91 (up from 88) Control 79 (up from 74) Velocity 94 (up from 93) PITCH #2 [Changeup] (from Circle Change) Overall 71 (down from 72) Movement 50 (down from 60) Trajectory 1-to-7 Control 69 (up from 59) Velocity 77 PITCH #3 [Curveball] Overall 80 (up from 66) Movement 65 (up from 30) Trajectory 12-to-6 Control 77 (up from 67) Velocity 75 PITCH #4 [Slider] Overall 72 (up from 65) Movement 55 (up from 30) Trajectory 10-to-4 Control 65 Velocity 84 (up from 81) PITCH #5 [None] Overall N/A Movement N/A Trajectory N/A Control N/A Velocity N/A ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Preston Wilson First Position: LF (from CF) Second Position: OF Career Potential: *** (from ****) Age: 32 (from 30) Jersey Number: 3 (from 44) BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Crouched Offensive Value 496 (down from 529) RHP-Contact 58 LHP-Contact 78 RHP-Power 66 (down from 69) LHP-Power 77 (down from 83) Bunting 70 Discipline 65 Durability 65 (up from 60) Speed 70 Stealing 75 Baserunning 70 Fielding 70 Range 75 (down from 80) Strength 85 Accuracy 70 ROLE Backup Outfielder ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *********************************************************************** TB.

NOTES Seo was formerly a top-pitching prospect, but he lost two years of his career to Tommy John surgeries while in the minors. He has had to compensate for his loss in velocity by becoming a control pitcher. Unfortunately, Seo only has a three-pitch repertoire, one that hitters usually catch on to by their third AB. That probably makes Seo a long reliever until he adds another pitch to his arsenal. The Mets tried to teach Seo how to throw a 2-Seam Fastball but were unsuccessful, and with a solid starting rotation one would think that Seo is not in their long-term plans unless injuries push him to the forefront. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Switzer (Added in Online Download) First Position: RP Career Potential: ** (from *) Age: 27 (from 25) Jersey Number: 52 (from 48) PITCHER RATINGS Pitcher Delivery: Style 2 Pitching Value Stamina 45 Pickoff 65 PITCH #1 [4-Seam Fastball] Overall 82 (down from 84) Control 66 Velocity 89 (down from 91) PITCH #2 [Changeup] (from Circle Change) Overall 65 Movement 40 Trajectory 11-to-5 Control 56 Velocity 79 PITCH #3 (from #4) [Slider] Overall 75 Movement 60 Trajectory 2-to-8 Control 68 Velocity 79 (down from 81) PITCH #4 (from #3) [None] (from Curveball) Overall N/A (from 74) Movement N/A (from 65) Trajectory N/A (from 12-to-6) Control N/A (from 59) Velocity N/A (from 75) PITCH #5 [None] Overall N/A Movement N/A Trajectory N/A Control N/A Velocity N/A ----------------------------------------------------------------------- B.J.

He has hit well in the minors at every level, but does not really have a true defensive position. He came up as a 2B but switched to the outfield when he got traded to NY. He's shown ability to hit at every level in the minors, and 6 of his 15 hits in the majors were for extra bases (3 doubles, 3 homers). But until the Mets trade Floyd or Cameron, Diaz will be stuck in the minors or on the bench. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- JERRY HAIRSTON JR.

I don't really see what's so good about a performance like that if you allowed 11 men on base. The Padres had two men on base in four of his nine innings pitched. Meanwhile Mike Mussina was perfect until Carl Everett singled with 2 outs in the ninth, but Burnett goes down in history for having a "no-hitter". That's baseball for you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Gustavo Chacin GENERAL INFORMATION Birthday: December 4, 1980 First Position: SP Second Position: None Throws: Left Bats: Left Career Potential: *** Batter Music: Latin Age: 26 (from 24) Years Pro: 1 Postseason Experience: None Current Team: Blue Jays (2) APPEARANCE EQUIPMENT Jersey Number: 39 Bat Color: 6 Height: 5'11" Fielding Glove: 2 Weight: 193 Elbow Guard: None Body Type: Athletic Shin Guard: None Face: 1 Wristband: None Hair Color: 1 Socks: Regular Hair Style: 1 Catcher Mask: 1 Facial Hair: 1 Batting Gloves: On BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Open Offensive Value 100 RHP-Contact 25 LHP-Contact 21 RHP-Power 27 LHP-Power 20 Bunting 55 Discipline 30 Durability 50 Speed 53 Stealing 20 Baserunning 50 Fielding 65 Range 40 Strength 75 Accuracy 70 BATTER TENDENCIES [FASTBALL] [CURVEBALL] [SLIDER] Take LHP 65 Take LHP 55 Take LHP 40 Take RHP 65 Take RHP 55 Take RHP 40 Miss LHP 75 Miss LHP 75 Miss LHP 90 Miss RHP 65 Miss RHP 75 Miss RHP 90 Chase LHP 85 Chase LHP 75 Chase LHP 0 Chase RHP 85 Chase RHP 75 Chase RHP 65 HOT/COLD ZONES VS LHP HOT/COLD ZONES VS RHP TL: Cold TL: Cold T: Neutral T: Neutral TR: Neutral TR: Neutral L: Neutral L: Neutral C: Neutral C: Hot R: Cold R: Cold BL: Neutral BL: Neutral B: Cold B: Neutral BR: Cold BR: Cold PITCHER RATINGS Pitcher Delivery: Style 2 Pitching Value 760 (up from 694) Stamina 74 (up from 64) Pickoff 65 PITCH #1 [4-Seam Fastball] Overall 87 (up from 85) Control 73 (up from 68) Velocity 92 PITCH #2 [Changeup] PITCH #3 [Curveball] Overall 70 (up from 63) Overall 73 Movement 40 (up from 20) Movement 60 Trajectory 12-to-6 Trajectory 1-to-7 Control 72 (up from 64) Control 64 Velocity 75 (up from 73) Velocity 72 PITCH #4 [Slider] PITCH #5 [Cutter] Overall 70 Overall 75 (up from 71) Movement 60 Movement 60 (up from 55) Trajectory 2-to-8 Trajectory 3-to-9 Control 52 Control 69 (up from 64) Velocity 81 Velocity 90 *Also throws Screwball.

Escobar was the centerpiece of the Roberto Alomar trade, and Escobar's injuries are the only reason the Mets came out even in that deal.

He's serving as a lefty specialist in the Mets bullpen. Koo hit a double off Randy Johnson. In one of the odder baseball sequences of the year, Jose Reyes bunted, and when the Yanks threw him out at first, Koo took off for home because nobody was covering the plate. He was able to score with a crazy slide. He also struck out all three batters he faced that day. Unfortunately, Koo ended up injuring himself on the slide and had to go on the disabled list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Luis M.

I don't know why the Mariners designated him for assignment. Boone wasn't the hitter he's been in the past, but that just meant he was hitting as poorly as most other second basemen. A OPS of .684 this year with the Mariners truly isn't that bad for a second baseman, it's bad for a player of Boone's stature. Since he won a gold glove last year, it's not like he was hurting the team on defense either. Boone was traded to the Twins and is taking over as their regular second baseman. Boone hit even worse for the Twins, and they released him after only three weeks. Boone announced his retirement during spring training. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Pat Borders First Position: C Second Position: 3B Career Potential: * Age: 42 (from 41) Jersey Number: 12 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Brown First Position: SP Career Potential: **** Age: Jersey Number: 27 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Burba First Position: SP Career Potential: ** Age: 39 (from 38) Jersey Number: 43 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ellis Burks First Position: RF Second Position: OF Career Potential: *** Age: Jersey Number: 25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeromy Burnitz GENERAL INFORMATION Birthday: April 14, 1969 First Position: RF Second Position: OF Throws: Right Bats: Left Career Potential: *** Batter Music: Rock Age: 37 (from 35) Years Pro: 12 All-Star selections: 1 (1999) Postseason Experience: LDS 3x (6 games, 0-3 series record, .118 BA, .404 OPS) Former Teams: Mets (131), Indians (80), Brewers (782), Mets (219), Dodgers (61), Rockies (150) Current Team: Cubs (160) APPEARANCE EQUIPMENT Jersey Number: 3 (from 35) Bat Color: 1 Height: 6'3" Fielding Glove: 2 Weight: 213 Elbow Guard: None Body Type: Athletic Shin Guard: 1 Face: 1 Wristband: None Hair Color: 1 Socks: Regular Hair Style: 1 Catcher Mask: 1 Facial Hair: 1 Batting Gloves: On BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Burnitz Offensive Value 529 (down from 661) RHP-Contact 68 (down from 77) LHP-Contact 62 (down from 74) RHP-Power 73 (down from 86) LHP-Power 80 (down from 87) Bunting 70 Discipline 70 Durability 85 Speed 59 (up from 57) Stealing 75 Baserunning 65 Fielding 75 Range 75 Strength 85 Accuracy 75 BATTER TENDENCIES [FASTBALL] [CURVEBALL] [SLIDER] Take LHP 60 Take LHP 70 Take LHP 65 Take RHP 65 Take RHP 90 Take RHP 55 Miss LHP 55 Miss LHP 50 Miss LHP 30 Miss RHP 50 Miss RHP 65 Miss RHP 50 Chase LHP 60 Chase LHP 65 Chase LHP 0 Chase RHP 55 Chase RHP 80 Chase RHP 85 HOT/COLD ZONES VS LHP HOT/COLD ZONES VS RHP TL: Cold TL: Neutral T: Neutral T: Hot TR: Hot TR: Neutral L: Neutral L: Cold C: Hot C: Hot R: Neutral R: Neutral BL: Hot BL: Neutral B: Neutral B: Neutral BR: Cold BR: Neutral NOTES People thought Burnitz was a poor replacement for Sosa because he owed his great stats to Coors Field.

category with 286. Trevor Hoffman (393) at age 36 is almost a lock to pass him within the next two years, and possibly challenge Smith's record. Still, Franco ranks very high in saves for a lefty, as the next one on the list is Randy Myers with 347. Billy Wagner is the only other active lefty in the top 50, and he has 286 saves at age 32. After Wagner, the only other active lefty in the top 100 is Eddie Guardado, who has 169 saves at age 33. It should be obvious that Franco is probably the best lefty closer of all-time, although he probably lacks the credentials to get into the hall of fame. Franco has the second lowest career ERA (2.84) among active players, behind only Pedro Martinez (2.71), which is quite impressive considering his age. He is the active leader in games pitched (1088), and second all-time, behind Jesse Orosco (1252). Franco left his hometown Mets after spending 14 seasons with them. He's going to give it one more shot in Houston, which is littered with more than a few former NY pitchers to keep Franco some company (Clemens, Pettitte). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DOUG GLANVILLE First Position: CF Second Position: OF Career Potential: * Age: 35 (from 34) Jersey Number: 6 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- JASON GRIMSLEY First Position: RP Career Potential: ** (from *) Age: Jersey Number: 54 (from 38) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Buddy Groom First Position: RP Career Potential: *** Age: Jersey Number: 28 (from 27) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Hammond First Position: RP Career Potential: ** Age: 40 (from 39) Jersey Number: 29 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Josh Hancock First Position: SP Career Potential: * Age: 28 (from 26) Jersey Number: 45 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Hansen First Position: 1B Second Position: 3B Career Potential: ** Age: 38 (from 36) Jersey Number: 10 (from 25) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- LENNY HARRIS GENERAL INFORMATION Birthday: October 28, 1964 First Position: 3B Second Position: UTIL (from 1B) Throws: Right Bats: Left Career Potential: * Batter Music: Hip Hop Age: 40 Years Pro: 17 Postseason Experience: WS 1x, LCS 1x, LDS 1x (1 ring, 17 games, 3-0 series record, .161 BA, .449 OPS) Former Teams: Reds (77), Dodgers (578), Reds (469), Mets (75), Rockies (91), Diamondbacks (55), Mets (186), Brewers (122), Cubs (75) Current Team: Marlins (92) APPEARANCE EQUIPMENT Jersey Number: 10 Bat Color: 4 Height: 5'10" Fielding Glove: 3 Weight: 234 Elbow Guard: None Body Type: Heavy Shin Guard: None Face: 1 Wristband: 4 Hair Color: 1 Socks: Regular Hair Style: 10 Catcher Mask: 1 Facial Hair: 6 Batting Gloves: On BATTER/FIELDER RATINGS Batting Stance: Bent Offensive Value 232 (up from 166) RHP-Contact 78 (up from 49) LHP-Contact 51 (up from 40) RHP-Power 51 (up from 44) LHP-Power 41 Bunting 75 Discipline 80 Durability 65 Speed 59 (down from 64) Stealing 50 Baserunning 85 Fielding 50 Range 60 (down from 70) Strength 60 Accuracy 65 BATTER TENDENCIES [FASTBALL] [CURVEBALL] [SLIDER] Take LHP 85 Take LHP 90 Take LHP 75 Take RHP 80 Take RHP 70 Take RHP 80 Miss LHP 0 Miss LHP 0 Miss LHP 40 Miss RHP 20 Miss RHP 0 Miss RHP 40 Chase LHP 55 Chase LHP 40 Chase LHP 0 Chase RHP 20 Chase RHP 55 Chase RHP 65 HOT/COLD ZONES VS LHP HOT/COLD ZONES VS RHP TL: Neutral TL: Cold T: Cold T: Neutral TR: Neutral TR: Neutral L: Cold L: Cold C: Hot C: Neutral R: Neutral R: Neutral BL: Cold BL: Neutral B: Neutral B: Cold BR: Cold BR: Cold NOTES Baseball's all-time leader in pinch-hits, with 200 and counting. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SHIGETOSHI HASEGAWA First Position: RP Career Potential: *** Age: Jersey Number: 17 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- A.J.

Questions and Answers If you have any questions, I'll post it here (if it's a good question). ----- Question Do you have the appearances for CAPs? Answer No, I don't care much for appearances. As long as Shane Spencer is putting up numbers similar to what he's capable of, then I could care less if he's 7 feet tall and Asian. Besides, the CAP design is so simplistic that you can't really make guys that close to what they really look like anyway, only a general accuracy. *********************************************************************** XVII.

Closing Well this certainly is quite a time consuming project. It takes a lot more time to edit MLB players than it does NBA players. Not just because I am far more familiar with NBA players, but also because the nature of the edits is so complex and a lot of research is required in each individual case. As I've always said, I'm more for quality than I am for quantity - that doesn't mean the quantity won't come; it just means it will take time to get there. I hope you enjoy this guide.
