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.
