What is wrong with this team?

Atkins was crap. And he makes a ton of errors. Have you seen the number of doubles and homeruns Crede hit last year? Plus his D is better than Atkins. I figured I made the right move.

Texeira vs. Lefties, Helton vs. Righties. If I have to make another change I will but I thought this was the best option too. If Texeira isn't playing enough I can put him in games where he would be best to use...such as road games in hitters parks.

Thanks for the help. This was a free team though. I didn't pay for it. It's my first Shea team so I guess there are lessons to be learned.

How are you going to play both Texiera and Helton in a no DH league???? you know have a 5.5 million bench player and Crede is terrible, I was well aware this was a no DH when I posted the info....if you are worriede about pinch hitting...then get guys who are slanted one way to PH, not 1R or 1L guys like you have...I would have kept Atkins too...[/quote:71cb839e49]

Doesn't it follow that if you use guys who are slanted one way to PH that HAL would bring in a relief pitcher to cancel your advantage? What would be the point? I picked guys with good defence who "can" hit once in a while against lefties or righties.

My team got back to .500 but has lost a few the past two nights.

Ummm and what does that have to do with anything??

read the actual card, not what they did last year. You become a better player when you stop looking at names. To me they are just player#21345, with X hits, X OB, X TB, X Hr, X BP Hr.

Atkins > Crede and Helton sucks balls. Btw, IMHO Helton should be a 1 or 2L not an E. He's best batting 7th or 8th vs R......
