You need to post a link to your team. Open up stastics, click on your team, then copy and past the url over here so we can see what your team looks like.

One thing that I noticed about your team is that your reliever endurance ratings are low.

Also, I think having a good arm in CF is important.

i do sub for lofton with taguchi when i am ahead. i have 8 relievers
but my starters - namely pedro and willis are not performing very well

No he's right,

especially at home (border between neutral and a hitters park) you rp's are giving up games (4 saves to 9 BS). KRod isn't necessary with Ryan closing, and you have to real RP to eat up a lot of innings (Vargas potentially I guess).

Also Sullivan is an adequate (and much cheaper) def sub, that $$ on Taguchi is kinda wasted (3 mil is waaaay too much for a backup). Other than lofton, I don't really see enough OBP at the top of that lineup either.

Don't do massive slash and burns though, see if you could make some trades to net yourself a 1) better #4 starter, 2) better setup RP or 3) a good #1 or 2 guy for the top of the lineup.

I think you have too many spots in the lineup without power
and even your power guys like wright murton and delgado are not huge hr guys like manny ortiz arod lee clarke and others

you are being outhomered despite a good staff
and too much money on the bench

might be too late but you are one or two power hitters short imho
