Your lineup is very slanted towards RHP. Your bullpen won't hold up very well I doubt.

If you make the playoffs your team will be tough to play against in a 5 or 7 game series with your pitching.

yeh, I am going to add a Diego Segui type guy to help out Leonhard in the pen, who has been good for me.

I would downgrade a starting pitcher and get an additional power bat. Reggie and Brock are solid, but Monday, Hunt, and Menke have been maddeningly inconsistent for me. I think you need one more good bat in case some of your offense goes into the tank.

It looks like you're off to a pretty good start. What other ball parks do you have in your division?

My division is very pitcher friendly, which helps. The rest is almost all pitcher unfriendly. I think there is maybe one pitching park and another neutral. I am 20-19 on the road though, which is surprising to me. In the past in 1969 and ATG II, These type of teams struggled on the road for me, especially in the hitting stadiums. Usually skimping in the pen hurts the most there. My pen is 7-8, which is good. I have found that if they can stay about .500 you do OK or better with the strong starters. Not sure why this one has been relatively successful on the road to date.
