Team link?

Go to statistics, click your team, right click on link, copy and paste it here for us... :lol:

I am in your league, so I could see your team. Berkman doing poorly is just bad luck IMO. There are only 2 or 3 LH SP's in your division, with three parks that favor LH hitting. Just based on the fact that he is seeing so much RH pitching Berkman should be doing at least halfway decent. Other than that, you have RH SP's who get hit by lefties, and some hitters that hit LH well, but you don't see that many. Even though you are hitting LH well, they are still beating you to the tune of 2-8, which could also be some bad luck. It looks like you went ahead and built a team that would usually work, but didn't pick up on the realities in your division(limited LH SP's), which you really should have been able to take more advantage of IMO. Berkman being so bad hurts you here, because you really only have two LH hitters that really hit RH well, and he's easily the best. Add some bad luck + some bad decisions=19-29.

durantjerry....you make some good points.....Berkman has killed me....also on defense my double plays are not coming into play as much as I would have hoped....I have in my infield three 1's and a 2e6 on second...

..my bad

Your link is bad.

Regarding the DP's, you do have the lowest WHIP in the league, which means you are probably at or near the bottom in potential DP opportunities.
