2005 Game (2004 season) Tips?

[fredpaii]

Just purchased my first 2005 team and I have no idea who the better deals are. Who do you like to play fom that set?

Which parks do you play in (for 2005)?

Thanks

Castilla at 3b. 3 out of 4 times I use him in hitter or neutral parks, he is a stud. 1 out of 4 times he sucks. When he hits good, he is a bargin at 4.85 mil. I have had good results from Sosa, and Rowand always performs.

Greinke often surprises at SP.

Many other hidden, and not so hidden gems. I will leave to others to share a few more.

One of Castilla's better performances for me:

Castilla, not so good. Greinke pretty good. In a gopher ball park no less:
Also,Sosa often can put up numbers like these or better.

What I'd really appreciate is your 2005 card set (2004) team links like Dennis put out. And any other info that worked for you would be great also.

thanks guys...and gals.

I love the 2005 set. I have had 68 teams, and will probably keep on playing it. Lots of great hitters, lots of bargains, great high-injury risk players. A few tips for you:
Randy Johnson should be #1 on every draft card. Yes he is expensive, but he is worth every penny in my book. Pedro Martinez and Ted Lilly are a lot cheaper and not as dominant, but are a lot better than some of the other pitchers in 2005.
Kerry Robinson, Jay Payton, Edgar Martinez and Quinton McCracken are all great values for under a buck.
Jimmy Rollins is another player that should be on every draft card for 2005.
Here is a link from my last 2005 team that won a championship.

Here is another 2005 team of mine. This one was a bomber team in Coors. Check out Munson. Another great bargain in a hitters park.

14 leagues x 12 teams per league = 168 teams to learn from.

Wow, a .67 hitter with 56 HR's. That's a fun and interesting set.

Excellent! thanks man. :D
