shea team advice

[milezd]

what is the Shea strategy?

I tought it was:

get good lefty power hitters and pitchers good versus lefties

I am usually a petco park type of team but occassionally try things like a coors or shea team but I always fail, what am I missing?

my most recent in progress "shea" team

I am getting ready to "blow it up" to some degree to experiment, I was just looking for some suggestions, and yes, I have read the other shea team thread currently near the top of the board

your closer is getting lit up like the Christmas Tree in my living room!!

Too much RH pitching in a lefty hitting park.

Your rotation's pretty weak, and especially if your divisional opponents feature a decent number of switchhitters, you want a lefty or two in the rotation to turn 'em around.

Agree with Socal here. You have about 4 too many starting pitchers that are right handed.

I had mulder, but dropped him, he was 4-11 for me

as for the Managerial Settings I am middle of the road

maximize closer
normal relief usage
normal on bunting
conservative on hit and run
slightly agressive on basepaths and stealing

starting pitchers I usually don't tweak, I leave the settings blank
relief I set according to their makeup
studs 2-3 innings per outing, no other restrictions
all other relievers set to 1-2 innings per outing
extreme pitchers to avoid their weak side, quick hook

Hitter restrictions mostly have to do with bunting, stealing and hit and run.
I am not a fan of the hit and run so I typically make all players as "do not H&R", the only exception being if I have a HR guy with speed in front of him

fyi I've made some changes to the team, and yes, I realize dumping salary makes a team weaker, I understand that, I am chalking up this season to a learning process, if I win, good, if not, there is always next time
