I know it might just be first week jitters or something, but with Arod having an OBP lower than his real life BA, Affeldt coming in and losing games when he is set to everything to prevent him from pitching, and I'm not even going to mention Vazquez's 2 starts... Should I be this worried about my team? If so what should I do to save it from taking a nosedive. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

P.S. Heilman was a last minute addition so he will get his innings, but I could also use some help as to what his settings should be to maximize those innings.

just dont let Milton start. :lol:


Team looks ok, not a fan of your 2B and Konkero,,uggggg...hold the line on ARod, he'll be ok.

There may be problems with your team but it is way too early to worry about A-Rod. Give him another 150-200 at bats then worry. I had a team start with something like 11-22 that won 88 games. Nine games is not enough of a sample. Would you think that a coin is unfair if it came up tails 7 times and heads twice? Good luck.

Heilman, put as setup & closer both ways. Slow hook and not before 7th inning.

Thanks for the calming down, but also how do these lineups look? Maybe I'm missing something that is bringing down the production.
