Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

On paper I thought this team would dominate. My team has a total team salary of ~$148 mil, $20 mil more than the first place team in the division. My lineup include Belt, Guerrero, Buxton, Gallo, Judge, and Betts and yet I have no one with more than two home runs. Oh, and did I mention that our home park is CAMDEN YARDS!!! Explain to me why this team SUCKS!

Seriously, you wrote this 12 games into the season?

Getting slaughtered. Regularly.

You do realize that the season is 162 games long? 12-9 ain’t exactly a horrible start….certainly not worth whining about!

Its early, give it time. That said your team is not really getting $145 mil value based on the usage. You have Danny Duffy as a 6th starter that seemingly isn't in the rotation as he hasn't pitched a single inning. Thats 3mil of value not being used. The same for Nico Hoerner, though he may be your late innings defensive replacement for Kemp, in which case at least he's being used.

All your RP are R1 and it looks like that has already taken a toll on Sadler who is likely overworked already give his 5.09 ERA and 1.53 WHIP.

Guerro at 3b 4e30 that gives up some a run or two.

Betts only has 24 AB, Gallo only 29 your regulars are closer to 90, that's also limiting the "value" of your 145 mil if those two who combine for 14mil are only being used 1/3 of the time you've lost about 8mil of their combined value. Don't know if that's due to injury or your lineup settings. All in all though I'd say your $145 mil value is really closer to 130 based on plate appearances and innings pitched. YMMV of course.
