I play in a lot of pitchers parks. My pitching is keeping me afloat, but not scoring at all. thinking of dropping Bando. any Thoughts? Here is my team:

Yes, you do have some problems, but 16-11 is pretty good. Chances are that the bats will improve, not sure your pitching will hold. You have a few holes in your D, especially in the OF, both range and arm strength.

Covington and Bando are better hitter park players. O'Neill and Miller will get better, but you should be about 1 under right now.

Ride the wave, maybe its your turn to win one!

Best of luck, sschu

Thanks for your input---We'll see what happens. It's up to the roll of the dice now!

This is going to sound rough, but I think you've been fortunate so far. Your bullpen has overperformed and 3-Finger is en fuego. If they return to even average Forbes form, you could be in trouble. Monitor your performance - if the hitting stays as is, but the pitching starts to falter to a 3.75 team ERA (probably reasonable for that pitching staff and defense), you might want to check the market.

I wouldn't panic now, but I might open lines of communications with a few teams. Covington, Bando, and Crosetti are all valuable commodities in hitters park. Perhaps find a struggling hitting team, offer up a package of some or all of those 3, and they might have a better defensive RF (to replace Cov) and stronger OBP in exchange for your power. ONeill will improve, but he's been a . 240 hitter the two times I tried him.

Oh I know I've been lucky with the pitching and yes I am willing to give up the 3 players you mention. Just don't know what the alternative is. i mean Ken Boyer in place of Bando just don't seem right...

Thanks for the feed back.
