Posted by r0b0t on 9/20/2010 12:09:00 PM (view original):Mostly inflated overall ratings, and a couple legitimate star players. They didn't score, but droughts happen. Your team lost because of your own mismanagement anyway. No way should you have been starting that SP4 in a five game series. Your top two pitchers are legitimately good. They should have had two starts apiece. And you had to figure the fact you have placed zero emphasis on defense would come back to hurt you. You gave up 4 unearned runs in one loss, and then three more to start out the deciding game of the series. Hosmer has 79 range and a 77 glove, of course he isn't meant for CF. That misplayed fly ball cost your team three runs. As talented as your team is, they have holes. You'd be better served trading some of those iniflated overall rating but merely above average players of yours for guys who can actually field the ball at the position you plan on playing them. Trade one of your 4 sort-of-shortstops and get a legit CF. You can probably swing what's his face with the mediocre bat but the high overall and the inability to field at his position to some sucker for a top-line CF.
