Actually, the 7N card has 4 walks, not 3. See the somonline wiki.
The batting value of the two cards is pretty close, and I could see how the extra HR on the 7N card would have value in this game. But realistically, he's not going to hit in many leagues, and the '09 pitching card has it all over the '05 one. Fewer hits, no walks, fewer extra base hits, fewer total bases.
I just drafted the Big Six in a theme league, and I have every intention of using the '09 card as my #1 starter.
