You spent way too much money on pitching. You should try to keep the total spent around 32mm on pitching. I like to keep it around 28mm. Try to upgrade your center fielder. I am not a big fan of rowand.

Also it would help if you post a link to your team. Go the the league statistics league and copy the url and paste it to your post. This way the other platyers can help you out more.

Good luck

Go the the league statistics page, [b:102bdaf854]click on your team[/b:102bdaf854], and copy the url and paste it to your post.

i'm starting ichiro in CF %80 of the time. sheffield in right or figgins or kemp...remember I'm a rookie at the on line version. When me and a few buddies use to play the board game there wasnt a salary cap and we would draft an additional 5 players to the team we selected. This is totally different! I think my team will hold it's own with all the speed i have in my lineup, in a big park. C.LEE, A RAM, and DUNN in the middle will help also. I also had the most players taken from me at the auto draft.


best regards,

Agree with the first poster... spending 40mil on pitching is a recipe for winning about 65 games. I would first redistribute your money as recommended, and go from there.
