You like it so much, OT, why don't you trade your team for his straight up? :P

Focus on that pitching, and downgrade one lineup spot if you need to - just improve that rotation.

Your pitching is still a BIG problem, take the advise from above.

Here's your hitting numbers:

OBP vs RH 0.430
SLG vs RH 0.466
OPS vs RH 0.896
HR Rate vs RH 3.3
BPHR vs RH 39
OBP vs LH 0.409
SLG vs LH 0.508
OPS vs LH 0.917
HR Rate vs LH 3.9
BPHR vs LH 37

You need at least 2 LH sluggers, you are way to RH baised. Ideas include Covington, McCovey, Brett, Stargell or even Don Money (although he is not a LH).

I like Cleon as a leadoff guy, I suggest trading Speaker for a slugger somewhere. What's on the wire for CF, if Joe D is there, which he sometimes is at this point, grab him now! Speaker is a bit too expensive for me in a hitters park, I want some power out of the $9M guys. He has always underperformed for me as lead-off, but hit quite well as a #2 or #3.

Foox is good OBP- and BA-wise, but not as many homers as you might expect. Steals some bases, though.

I am in the league as well.

Cuellar has got to go. If he does not, you can ONLY use him when he goes on the road against OT and Nev in their pitching parks. Never let Cuellar pitch in a park like yours where the homerun is king.

I have used Norwood Gibson in Baker a few times with enough success to warrant his salary there. I also use B Loes in hitting parks as well. When Rommel was out there you should have picked him up. Him and Speer are on most successful Baker/Fenway 67 teams. Ralph Works, Carroll, and Bugs Raymond are more expensive but also options.

As for your question, Foxx is a total stud. I can post numerous teams with him going crazy.
