| '''Danny Baez(CL)''': Your Closer is your best relief pitcher hands down. Danny Baez is no exception. If you need to stop runs from coming in, or hold a small lead late game, then Baez is going to be your go to. Do note however that as a closer he's not meant to be extended as most relievers are. You can, at best get 2 solid innings out of him in most games. | | '''Danny Baez(CL)''': Your Closer is your best relief pitcher hands down. Danny Baez is no exception.

| ==Strategies vs Rivals==
| |
| Rival games are an important part of Major league play in MVP baseball 2005. Performance during these games effects team chemistry greatly during both Dynasty and Owner modes as well as potential income in Owner mode exclusively. Losing these games can be devastating and so all care should be taken to achieve victory in these bouts. If your players aren't happy, your team isn't performing as well as it could be. If your fans aren't happy then they don't show up to games and you don't get paid! That's not to say anything about the players themselves.

| Like most things for the Devil Rays unfortunately, your rivals are all far more equipped to handle these games than you are. The Orioles are 14th overall, the Marlins 11th and the Red Sox are number one. Victory is far from impossible, however it may be easier said than done in many cases.

| ===VS Boston Red Sox===

| The Red Sox are by far likely to be the most troublesome of your rivals. They made history in 2004 for being the first team in MLB history to come back from a 3-0 series deficit and win it all against the Yankees in the ALCS. They aren't any less frightening here. They've got a ton of Power hitters scattered across the lineup such as Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Edgar Renteria, Johnny Damon and Jason Varitek, who coincidentally is also one of the fastest releasing and hardest throwing catchers in the game, further emphasizing the importance of your running game.

| Tim Wakefield is probably going to be the worst pitcher you have to face in this game, possibly other than Zack Grienky. Most pitches will come at you roughly around 70-85 or so MPH. Tim Wakefield however has a knuckle ball which is not only excellently controlled but '''UNBELIEVABLE''' in how slow it actually proceeds. We're talking lower 50's in terms of speed and is a pitch that will continually mess up if you're not expecting it after a few speedier throws.
