Of course I had Sammy and Alou in the OF. Signed Chipper Jones as a FA while still using ootp4 so had to be '03 or '04. Corey Patterson was rated pretty good and was starting for me in CF in '03. Went on to a good career playing for me for ~12 years and then went onto the Yankees.

The years before OOTP 2007 were pretty easy to win. With the many roster rules added, finances being tightened up, and my team getting older (like the Braves of the 90's) things are starting to get more challenging\fun. I'm looking forward to see what kind of a team I have in the next few years as I have a HOF catcher that will be 36 next year and a stud CF that will be 34.
