Ya, can't say I like this team much either.
Playing at Petco, you spent a lot of money on BPHRs that are almost worthless at your park. Berkman, Beltran, Ludwick, and Bradley are all better neutral or hitter's park guys. Unless all your divisional foes are in bomber parks, you probably want to move several of these guys. You need 1 or 2 guys to drive in runs, but they need a better ratio of natural home runs to the #BPHRs.
On the pitching side, you could probably get better value there by having guys with MORE #BPHRs. Guys like Sheets, Verlander, Cain, and Jimenez are better bomber park guys. (although a little balance here can be a good thing if your opponents are mostly in bomber parks) Soria isn't a very good value either, because he doesn't even have any BP singles which don't really hurt you, but you pay big time for cards without them.
At least there is some realism in online strato: Ben Sheet is injured. How he got a S6* rating is beyond me.
