Why does my team suck?

Still early, but Bench can be slow to heat up. You can't beat his defense, bu tnow you have Parrish anyway, whom I think is great by the way. I like using either him or M May in HR parks. I think R Smith may disappoint. But hte thing that scares me the most is all of those cheap SP/RPs on your staff, they will kill you. I imagine all of the S5 and S6 cheapies are gone? I think you need more power. Not sure that Welch was the right SP for this park. I hope this is a DH league, with Greenberg in the lineup.

First mistake is to begin dumping players 30 games in. 13-17 isn't the time to hit the panic button. Bench would have came around. Patience is the hardest thing to learn about this game. The 20% hits will kill over the course of a season. Always go the trade route first. I will try to give a team at least 3 weeks before I start reworking it.

The biggest problem I see with your team is a lack of 1-2 hitters. Hang in there and have fun. Remember there is still 132 games left and it's a loooong season. :)
