That's an expensive team. Do you have any pitching?? :?
Get a good defensive replacement for HanRam at SS. I would find someone other than Ian Kinsler at 2B, too.

Post a link to your team:
go to statistics -> team -> click on your team, coy and paste that URL, it should have a ?userid=xxxx were xxxx is numbers that make your team id.
I'd say bad Defense and no pitching = bad team, but don't know if it's an uncapped league or not.

The most important defensive positions are SS and 2B, and you have a 4 and 3 there, and two of the least important defensive positions are LF and 1B, where you have 1s. 3B gets a decent number of chances, too, and Garrett Atkins plays defense like he wants everyone's stats to get the Coors Field boost. Not a good combo!

bad link. go to statistics and click on your team name. Copy and paste that URL here. If it doesn't end with numbers we can't see it.

Your pitching is going to get shelled at the Bank. If I were you, I'd start with building a better relief corps made up of low bp pitchers. Look for some value hitters and downgrade. Value hitters for your park have a high number of bp homers.
