Why

Please someone explain to me why my team is so bad... I have weeker pitching but there are guys with $2 Million pitchers that have a team era of 3.20's

It's a 100M league and the lineups are very powerful. Your team era is in the sevens. Plus that bull pen is really bad. What did you think was going to happen? Offense looks good enough but man that pitching is hard to care about.
Just my 2 cents but wow...

Omar Vizquel at SS doesn't do much more than Larry Bowa for about 3M less, and Albert Pujols at 7.88 can do as much damage as the 10.51 one does. Bob Veale was a bad pick for a starter in minute Maid, and Jimmy Foxx just underacheived. Spend more on the starters with the savings. I didn't see Hank Aaron on any of the other rosters...he could have done you some good in Minute Maid. Just my 2 cents too. Speaking of 2 cents, the Strat-O Sports Page (AP) is on sale for 2 cents this week! Sorry no refunds...

your walks handed out total, absolute disregard for fielding a remotely capable OF (two 3's and 4 equal a lot of balls falling in), over paying for a no hit shortstop, veale, homerun prone SPer's, having pujols' most expensive card cost you a lot of roster maneuverability, etc...

Thank you guys for the input

When you have such suspect starters , you need to go with a quick hook and a strong bullpen, a Murray,Sutter,or even Milgus. Your team can hit and would probaply win a lot of games late if you had a bullpen.

Not much experience with ATG but I think the stategy isn't much different whatever the league. The #1 problem is the starting rotation is made up of poor control pitchers plus no real closer. Also if you spend for middle infield defense you might want to look for groundball pitchers instead of high K guys.
