couple things--
Teams in extreme parks need to capitalize on the lack of homerun possiblity for opponents by picking pitchers with low whips but you occasionally give up the dinger. Offensively, you need guys with base speed and who hit for extra bases (not homers)
More specifically
Your pitching staff is not set up very efficiently. Candlestick is an extreme pitchers park so guys like coveleski aren't usually necessary and reulbach is overkill. I wouldn't mix three * pitchers with Reulback either. I'd think about losing Reulbach for sure and picking up maybe Drysdale, Lolich, Seaver, Hughson, Mayer, Nolan, hunter, guys of that nature. Unless you are playing in a lot of sluggers parks on the road, I'd lose Perranoski and maybe pick up drabowsky, mcanenay, Bob Miller, T. Martinez, D. Hall, R. Taylor if they are available.
offensively, you need to streamline a bit. Its hard to say without knowing exactly who is available, but you should lose Bergman, Knight and Kuntz and try to pick up some guys to play OF and 3B with foot speed (1-16, 1-17) and who rack up lots of extra base hits. Medwick is on the FA wire a lot, Dawson is good, maybe Steinfeldt, Rolfe, or Meusal. Doby isn't going to hit a ton of homeruns in that park, so I'd think about getting at least one more guy with some pop--maybe a Furillo, Cooper, or R. Collins.
Just some ideas.
