Slider: 52 pitching staffs in the league.
SP-Charles Nagy-#41- Fastball: 95 - This is another better pitcher on

Splitter: 96 bullpen didn't suck.
LR-Jaret Wright-#27- Fastball: 98 - Sucks. Good for about 2 innings
Curveball: 78 of relief. Giving up 3 hits in
Change-up: 68 2 innings is pretty good for him,

MR-Bob Wickman-#26- Fastball: 96 - OK reliever. He has no stamina,
Slider: 82 so is only good for about 1 inning.
Sinker: 80 Throw power pitches with him.
MR-David Riske-#54- Fastball: 94 - Yeah, that's not a typo. He

|C N N| want to hit some homers with him.

RF-Larry Walker-#33- _____ - Another raw power hitter. Has a .309
|C N C| average, so use him wisely. Has 9
|N H H| homers, but he's pretty good at the
|C H H| long hits. One of the better
|_____| hitters on the team.
SP-Denny Neagle-#15- Fastball: 93 - Not too bad. The Fastball/Changeup

Sinker: 78 sure to use them occasionally.
SP-Mike Hampton-#10- Fastball: 94 - The cream of the crop. Excellent
Slider: 94 pitcher. Use all his pitches to

Change-up: 89 his Fastball/Change are the main
Sinker: 68 pitches. The other two should

Slider: 56 should be used 95% of the time.
Curveball: 95 The slider looks like a lazy

Slider: 52 before hitters start predicting
Curveball: 54 him. Not too bad.
MR-Juan Acevedo-#50- Fastball: 96 - Another bad pitcher. Don't

|C N N| but I can tell you he's good. He's
|N H N| better then Fick. He seems to be a
|N N C| base-hit player, with not a lot of

C- Robert Fick-#25- _____ - Sucks. Start Inge. Fick has a

|N N H| You'll be better off playing with
|_____| Inge, trust me.
C- Mitch Meluskey-#21- _____ - Oops, forgot about him. He's a

|C N H| homers, another power hitter. Start

1B-Ryan Jackson-#20- _____ - Eh, don't bother. You have Clark at
|N N N| 1B. The game doesn't give him stats.

|_____| potential.
1B-Tony Clark-#44- _____ - One of the rare outside-pitch hitters.
|N C C| He'll crush the outside pitches with
|H H C| his .274 average. He also has 13

|_____| player.
2B-Jose Macias-#39- _____ - Not too bad as a DH. Has a .254
|N N C| batting average with 2 homers.
|C H N| He's reliable, so use him when
|N C H| your team's in a jam. He's pretty
|_____| quick as well.
2B-Damion Easley-#9- _____ - Not too bad. .260 average with 14
|C N C| homers. Has some power, but not

3B-Dean Palmer-#7- _____ - Another power hitter. Has a .256
|C N C| batting average with 29 homers. He

|C H N| Definitely give him some playing time,
|_____| you won't regret it.
SP-Steve W. Sparks-#37- Fastball: 88 - A great off-speed pitcher. All
Slider: 83 four of his pitches will do major
Curveball: 90 damage. The knuckle is the most
Knuckle: 92 unpredictable pitch, so use it.
SP-Brian Moehler-#38- Fastball: 97 - Not too great. The 3 latter
Slider: 65 pitches aren't too good. He'll
Change-up: 69 give up a lot of hits and runs.
Sinker: 68 Use him as a later resort.
SP-Jeff Weaver-#36- Fastball: 98 - Very good. His greatness is
Slider: 91 only surpassed by Sparks. Use
Curveball: 98 this guy a lot, he has the
Change-up: 90 stamina to go all the way.
SP-Jose Lima-#42- Fastball: 95 - He used to be one of the most
Curveball: 96 dominate pitchers in the league,
Change-up: 90 now he's just good. Use him
Sinker: 82 a lot, as he's a good starter.
SP-Chris Holt-#41- Fastball: 95 - Pretty good. Has 3 controlling
Curveball: 94 pitches. Not too much stamina
Change-up: 48 though, so you're better off
Sinker: 81 putting him in as relief.
LR-Matt Perisho-#40- Fastball: 94 - Don't really bother. While he's
Slider: 52 one of the better relievers, the
Curveball: 60 starters ought to go the whole 9
Change-up: 62 innings. Good for 3 innings.
MR-Danny Patterson-#28- Fastball: 94 - Don't laugh, it gets worse. While
Change-up: 38 this guy blows, you'll see worse.
Splitter: 40 Dump him in the farm system.
MR-C.J. Nitkowski-#27- Fastball: 97 - Good for about 1.5 innings. The

Curveball: 75 you use. Unfortunately, he's one
Change-up: 46 of the better relievers.
MR-Dave Borkowski-#45- Fastball: 96 - Ok, now we can all laugh. To be
Slider: 38 frank, this is one of the worst
Curveball: 26 pitchers in the league. Dump him,

Slider: 65 should be used more. He's
Curveball: 65 average, treat him that way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Florida Marlins:
C- Mike Redmond-#52- _____ - Eh, not too great. .252 average
|N N N| with no homers. Johnson is your
|N H C| starter, but this guy makes a
|C N N| mediocre DH. Trade him if you want,
|_____| but you're not gonna get anyone good.
C- Charles Johnson-#23- _____ - The second best hitting catcher in the
|N H N| league. .304 average with 31 homers.
|C H C| This is the stretch in the lineup you
|H C C| want to look out for. Wilson, Lowell,
|_____| and Johnson with Lee on deck.
1B-Dan Tudge-#14- _____ - Isn't your starter. Not too good
|C C C| at anything. The game doesn't
|H H H| give him stats. Dump him, because
|N N C| you have McGuire as a backup to
|_____| Lee, so this guy has no purpose.
1B-Ryan McGuire-#9- _____ - Only use him as a last resort.
|N N C| He sucks. While he's better then
|N N N| Tudge, don't bother. Start Lee, and
|N N H| only Lee. He can't hit, field, or
|_____| run. No talent in this loser.
1B-Derrek Lee-#25- _____ - Will the wave of good hitters end?
|C C C| .281 batting average with 28 homers,
|H H H| this guy has talent. You could get
|C H C| 3 homers in a row leading up to him
|_____| if you try hard enough.
2B-Luis Castillo-#1- _____ - Very good lead-off hitter. Very
|H H H| consistent, has a .334 average
|C H C| with 2 homers. He'll get on base
|H C C| most of the time. Also very fast
|_____| and a gem on defense.
3B-Andy Fox-#6- _____ - Not too bad. .232 average with 4
|N H N| homers. You don't want to sub
|C H C| Lowell though, so he doesn't really
|N N H| have a purpose. DH him if you want,
|_____| but there are better hitters.
3B-Mike Lowell-#19- _____ - Another power hitter. .270 average
|C H C| with 22 homers. It's just a few
|H H H| losers on the lineup that make this
|C H C| ball-club suck. This guy is very
|_____| good, and underestimated.
SS-Dave Berg-#10- _____ - .252 average with 1 homer. Another
|C N N| mediocre player. Don't really bother,
|N H N| unless you want to try him out.
|N N C| Gonzalez is better at defense, so
|_____| you'll be better off starting him.
SS-Alex Gonzalez-#11- _____ - The wave of good hitters ends here.
|C N C| .200 average with 7 homers. He's
|N H H| not bad, but could be better. Has
|C H N| some speed and defense though, which
|_____| is why he starts.
CF-Cliff Floyd-#30- _____ - Woohoo! Some more raw power.
|C H C| .300 batting average with 22
|N H H| homers. Put him in at RF.
|C N H| Leave Wilson 4th in the order,
|_____| and put him somewhere else.
CF-Preston Wilson-#44- _____ - Your power hitter of the lineup.
|C C C| Bats 4th for a reason, those 31
|H H H| homers. Will drive in a couple
|C H C| RBIs. Has a .264 average, so he's
|_____| pretty reliable.
RF-Eric Owens-#4- _____ - Since you're starting Floyd, this
|N H N| is your optimal DH. .293 batting
|C H C| average with 6 homers. Very reliable,
|H C C| so good to use in a jam. Definitely
|_____| use him as your DH.
RF-John Mabry-#47 - _____ - You should be starting Floyd here.
|N N C| An average sub, with a .235 average
|N H N| and 8 homers. Uh, there's not really
|C N H| anything else to say about him.
|_____|
SP-Matt Clement-#51- Fastball: 97 - Pretty good, has a fair amount of
Slider: 91 stamina. The 3 strong pitches
Change-up: 48 should be enough, and the Sinker
Sinker: 83 provides a good variation.
SP-Ryan Dempster-#46- Fastball: 97 - Very dominating pitches. One of
Slider: 98 the best pitchers in the league.
Change-up: 92 I think you know what to do with
Splitter: 91 him. Has ultimate potential.
SP-A.J. Burnett-#43- Fastball: 97 - Not too shabby. Good for about
Slider: 87 6 innings, then he's out of gas.
Curveball: 87 You could use him for early
Change-up: 80 relief if you wish.
SP-Doug Snyder-#54- Fastball: 96 - Wow, another good pitcher. The
Curveball: 94 Marlins really ARE a good team.
Change-up: 92 Same drill for him. Vary the
Sinker: 91 pitches, and he should do well.
SP-Brad Penny-#31- Fastball: 97 - Good. Same routine for him.
Curveball: 93 The only thing holding this
Change-up: 90 ball-club back is the lack of
Sinker: 87 a good managing staff.
LR-Alex Fernandez-#32- Fastball: 90 - Average. The Curveball is his
Slider: 75 only dominating pitch. The
Curveball: 92 Fastball is too slow to do
Change-up: 75 damage. The others are typical.
LR-Ricky Bones-#29- Fastball: 91 - So what if he sucks. You still
Slider: 39 have a good arsenal of starters.
Curveball: 90 Take my advice and dump him in
Change-up: 36 the farm system, he'll improve.
MR-Vic Darensbourg-#22- Fastball: 95 - 1 inning at most. He's not
Slider: 60 gonna get any better, so deal
Curveball: 63 with it or get rid of him.
MR-Armando Almanza-#55- Fastball: 94 - Another sucky reliever. He
Slider: 40 blew a lot of saves. Abandon
Change-up: 39 him as fast as you can.
SU-Braden Looper-#41- Fastball: 99 - Very dominating Fastball.
Slider: 75 Should scare the hitter enough
Sinker: 73 for you to sneak a slider in.
CL-Antonio Alfonseca-#57- Fastball: 99 - The Fastball/Slider combo should
Slider: 85 grab you the save. He sucks
Change-up: 40 other then that.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Houston Astros:
C- Tony Eusebio-#20- _____ - Backup catcher. Not too bad for DH.
|C N C| Has a .280 average and 7 homers. He
|N H N| actually sucks at defense, and is
|N N N| pretty good at offense. Look at
|_____| Ausmus for defense.
C- Brad Ausmus-#11- _____ - Good at putting those ground-balls
|C N N| into play. Has a .266 average and
|N H N| 7 homers. He'll provide the line
|N N C| drives and runs for the team. Look
|_____| at the outfield for power.
1B-Jeff Bagwell-#5- _____ - Power hitter. Bats cleanup for a
|N N C| reason. Has a .310 average with 47
|C H N| homers. You'll want to go for the
|C H H| long balls with this guy, as he's
|_____| going to do some damage.
2B-Craig Biggio-#7- _____ - Your starting 2B. He's a very good
|C H N| fielder, and an above-average hitter.
|N H N| Has a .268 average and 8 homers, so
|N N C| you know to hit line-drives with him.
|_____| Not much else to say.
3B-Vinny Castilla-#19- _____ - Not too bad, a .221 average with 6
|N H N| homers. He's better then Spiers, so
|C H C| he'll start. He's pretty good on
|H C C| defense though, so look elsewhere
|_____| for some offense.
3B-Bill Spiers-#28- _____ - Pretty good backup. Has a .301
|C H C| average with 3 homers, so you know
|C H N| he's good at hitting line drives.
|N N H| I haven't really tried him, so I
|_____| can't tell you what he's like.
SS-Julio Lugo-#4- _____ - Not too bad. You could start either
|C N N| shortstop, they're both the same. He
|N H N| bats .283 and has 10 homers. He's
|N N C| pretty fast though, which is what
|_____| makes him such a good leadoff guy.
SS-Jose Vizcaino-#10- _____ - He's better in real life. The game
|N H N| says he has a .251 average and no
|C H C| homers, but he's really good when
|N N H| he plays. Give him a chance, and
|_____| start Lugo if you don't like him.
LF-Daryle Ward-#31- _____ - .258 average with 20 homers. But
|C C C| if you're pitching to him, throw
|H H H| crap up top. He won't hit anything.
|C H H| Good DH, probably the best on the
|_____| team.
LF-Lance Berkman-#17- _____ - Another good hitter. He's actually
|C N C| better then the game says he is. Has
|N H H| a .297 average and 21 homers, but will
|C H H| definitely do better. Go for homers
|_____| with him, he has the power.
CF-Glen Barker-#24- _____ - Mediocre sub. You could trade him for
|N N C| an OK pitcher, but don't expect too
|N H C| much. He's obviously not gonna start
|N C H| in front of your 3 main outfielders,
|_____| so he's basically useless.
CF-Richard Hidalgo-#15- _____ - Another awesome hitter. .314 average
|C N C| with 44 homers, and he concludes the
|H H H| power outfield. Hit homers with him,
|C H C| because he can pull in a lot of RBIs
|_____| if you swing at the right pitches.
RF-Orlando Merced-#16- _____ - The game doesn't give you any stats,
|C H C| but I can tell you he sucks. Can't
|N H H| bat, field, or run. Drop him, he's
|C N H| not even worth a trade. This guy is
|_____| a disgrace to the league minimum. :P
RF-Moises Alou-#18- _____ - Easily the second-best hitter on the
|C H C| team, maybe the best. Has a .355
|H H N| average with 30 homers, and a lot of
|C H C| talent on defense. He can do a lot of
|_____| damage to the other team.
SP-Dave Milicki-#23- Fastball: 90 - Pretty good pitcher. You're
Curveball: 91 gonna use the Curve/Fastball
Change-up: 42 combination a lot. Try to
Sinker: 44 avoid the other two.
SP-Wade Miller-#52- Fastball: 97 - Pretty damn good. This is your
Slider: 88 main right-handed starter.
Curveball: 90 You'll find yourself using him
Sinker: 86 for relief for his stamina.
SP-Roy Oswalt-#44- Fastball: 98 - Isn't too good. The 3 latter
Slider: 68 pitches will only work for so
Curveball: 73 long before hitters start to
Change-up: 71 predict them. 5 innings at most.
SP-Shane Reynolds-#37- Fastball: 93 - The splitter adds a nice touch,
Slider: 82 so use that a lot. Pretty good
Curveball: 95 starter, so use him wisely.
Splitter: 96 Nothing much other then that.
SP-Scott Elarton-#50- Fastball: 95 - Eh, average at best. One of
Slider: 65 your 4 right handed starters,
Curveball: 93 so you'll be better off with
Change-up: 80 someone else.
LR-Kent Bottenfield-#47- Fastball: 92 - Around 3 innings at most.
Slider: 70 Average reliever with a fair
Change-up: 51 amount of power. He's righty
Sinker: 74 though, like so many others.
LR-Ron Villone-#39- Fastball: 97 - Looks like a druggie. Pitches
Slider: 40 like one too. The Curveball is
Curveball: 78 OK, but is like so many others.
Change-up: 76 2 innings at most.
LR-Octavio Dotel-#29- Fastball: 98 - LMAO at the change-up. Uh,
Slider: 75 he's an alright pitcher.
Curveball: 76 You're obviously only going to
Change-up: 28 throw the first 3 pitches.
MR-Doug Brocail-#26- Fastball: 98 - Another sucky reliever. Don't
Slider: 57 really take him too seriously,
Curveball: 82 because he's not going to do
Change-up: 40 much.
SU-Mike Jackson-#38- Fastball: 96 - Eh, around 2 innings at most.
Slider: 82 You could use him as a close if
Change-up: 75 Wagner is tired.
CL-Billy Wagner-#13- Fastball: 100- Very powerful fastball. I'd
Slider: 80 hate to be beaned by him.
Curveball: 72 Good for 1.5 innings at most.

Kansas City Royals:
C- Brent Mayne-#2- _____ - Not that bad. Has a nice .301
|N H N| average and 6 homers, which flat
|C H C| out tells you not to try for homers.
|C C H| Instead, go for the modest line drive,
|_____| he'll get it 33% of the time.
C- Gregg Zaun-#44- _____ - He's a pretty good catcher too. He
|C C C| has a .274 average and 7 homers. He
|H H N| won't lead your team, but he's a good
|C H H| backup for Mayne. Consider DH'ing
|_____| with him or trading him.
1B-Mike Sweeney-#29- _____ - .333 average with 29 homers. This
|C C N| is your power cleanup hitter. Average
|C H H| at defense. But then again, what does
|C H H| a first baseman really do? This guy
|_____| is the core of your lineup.
1B-Dave McCarty-#6- _____ - You should DH him or trade him. Don't
|N H N| let the .278 average with 12 homers go
|C H C| to waste. He's your first choice for
|H C C| DH, and he's pretty good too. Well-
|_____| balanced player.
2B-Carlos Febles-#3- _____ - Pretty good lead-off hitter. Has a
|C N N| decent average (.257) and only 2
|N H N| homers. You could consider starting
|N N C| Alicea if you want, it's really up to
|_____| you.
2B-Luis Alicea-#12- _____ - Another option for DH. You might
|C N C| even want to start him if you need
|N H N| that extra zip in your lineup. He
|N N H| has a .294 average and 6 homers.
|_____| He's pretty reliable.
3B-Joe Randa-#16- _____ - Eh, not too bad. .304 average and
|N H N| 15 homers. He's your token above-
|C H C| average 3rd-baseman. He's good at
|H C C| defense though, which is what gives
|_____| him the starting spot.
SS-Luis Ordaz-#8- _____ - Dump him into the farm system. .221
|N N N| average with no homers. Pretty much
|N H N| useless. He won't get better though,
|N C N| so release him and sign a good
|_____| prospect.
SS-Rey Sanchez-#1- _____ - Pretty bad. Better then Ordaz though.
|C C N| He has a .273 average and a single
|N H N| homer. Put him at the end of the
|N N N| lineup, because he's not going to do
|_____| much for your team.
LF-Mark Quinn-#14- _____ - Another good hitter. .294 average
|C N C| with 20 homeruns. He's more of a
|H H H| power hitter, so aim your bat lower
|C H C| then the ball. The strong average
|_____| will increase your chances of a run.
LF-Dee Brown-#27- _____ - Even more worthless then Ordaz. He
|N N C| has a .160 average and no homers.
|N H N| How did he even get to the majors,
|N N H| he sucks. As usual, you'll want to
|_____| dump him.
CF-Carlos Beltran-#15- _____ - He's actually better then the game
|C H C| portrays him. They give him a .247
|N H H| average and 7 homers, but he'll play a
|C N H| lot better when you try him out. Good
|_____| at defense too.
