[url=http://www.strat-o-matic.com/sphere/2005rate.htm]The new range ratings[/url]

Note that not every player here will be included in TSN's game; the players with "COMP" next to their names definitely will not, and others may not as well.

apparently BONDS will be included then * *

Peralta a 4.. damn

Arod a 2 at SS again ?? So is Jeter...

Boone finally gets the 4 at 2b...

Pierre a 3 in CF, so no more CF for him

Kent is back to a 3 at 2b... possibly usable now.

Damn I didn't realize B Clark only played CF this last year, and a 4 rated one. I guess Dh only for him.

Even with the GG, Abreu only moved up to a 3.

Vizquel wins a GG, and stays a 2??

Yeah, re, Abreu getting a ...3!!! And so forth the theory of gold gloves getting automatic 1!!!

Others notable:

Rowand becomes 1
Figgins gets a couple of nice 2s
Lowell gets a 3 at 2b in addition to a 1 at 3rd
Cabrera gets a 4 in lf...but a 3 at 3rd!!
Berkman and Dunn: 4 in the of, but 3 at 1st (Bagwell and Giambi get 5)
Adam Everett gets the 1 in the NL (Izturis falls at 2)!
Beltran and Cameron both fall to 2.

So if it says "ADD" or "MIX" beside thier names, does that mean they are going to be in the set next year or not.

Will they be in the real card set? Yes.

Will they be in the TSN game (probably what you were asking)? They might or might not. Same with the players listed as "REG." The only thing known for sure right now is that "COMP" players will not be.

Thanks for posting this, Dean. It is fun to start to get the info. I'm looking forward to the letter from former Strat player and former Phillie Doug Glanville, regarding Gold Glove Abreu's Strat rating. :D
