After finishing 87-53 in 2004, the Chattanooga Lookouts struggled as they went 53-83 and posted the worstrecord of any Reds affiliate in 2005.

Despite their record, the Lookouts were well-represented at the Southern League All-Star Game as four playerswere selected: INF Jeff Bannon, OF Norris Hopper, RHP Bubba Nelson and C Brian Peterson.

Though not selected to the All-Star Team, 2b Kevin Howard produced the best season of any Chattanoogaplayer, batting .296 with 12 HR, 70 RBI and 13 stolen bases.

The pitching staff was led by RHP Bobby Basham, who went 5-3 with a 2.98 ERA in 10 starts after beingpromoted from Class-A Sarasota.
