I need some help with my pitching staff in DM...would appreciate any feedback someone could give.  I've got the bats to hang with anyone, but can't quite figure out why my pitchers are sucking *** thus far.

Well, for starters, you defense is atrocious.  I mean, siriusly bro, you are starting a guy with 46 range and 57 glove at 2B!!!  Neither of your catchers call a good game, you are below average everywhere on D, your SS has 74 range.  You also have at least 2 pitchers too many.  Drop at two and get yourself a 2B for crying out loud.  Cook, Dingman, Alexander and Plata (pitchers on your team) are pretty horrible.  Demote those fools.  The SPs you should be starting are Baily, Mcnamara, Tarasco and Workman.  You will need a fifth or pick up another starter.

Elston Lawson is wasted at AAA. He needs to be your starting ML catcher. And I will gladly take Plata off your hands.

If you don't like Havoc, you can just go right ahead and join Al Qaeda now.

Havoc and that movie where the dude who takes the porn star to the prom is a big time drug dealer and makes the other dude kill the one dudes younger brother.

Yes.

I am pretty surprised he rejected the trade I offered him.  I was asking for Elson but I was giving him 3 guys he definitely needed.  Considering he isn't even using Elson and I was filling three big holes with ML guys, it was surprising.  But bret usually only likes to make deals that don't make sense for his team i think.

I believe Plata is the type of pitcher who can be very effective... if you have a very good defense behind him.

I feel like he is one rating short...  one more really good pitch or 10 points more in either splits and I would like him a lot.  I would not value him at his current ratings...  but you and I are clearly different (although I am buying into your defensive model) and both our styles win so I will take your word for it.

That must take place before he wanders off to Alaska and dies.

Chips, dips, chains, whips

Merry Christmas, Shtickless. May all your days be filled with joy.

Saw True Grit last night. Fantastic dialogue. Overall, just above average, though..
