Just look at it like this: Although its ridiculous to build a team in order to beat one particular pitcher, but in all reality, being that at least half of the playoff teams will likely have 08 Joss on their staffs, it would be foolish not to take this into consideration if you have aspirations for the playoffs.  Therefore, you draft accordingly, and not only have some good hitters in your lineup, but at least one starting pitcher who is at or near Joss' level, because IMO, when it comes to the playoffs, its generally all about the pitching.  You can have all of the hitters you want, but the team with the better pitching is more likely to win.    

'08 Joss is usually among the top pitchers in any league he is in, with good reason. He is tough to beat, as are some of DBera contemporaries. All top pitchers are tough to beat, but i would suggest your particular frustration stems from your teams not being as good as you might like them to be. You have been offered some very wise tips in this thread, consider those ideas carefully. Do you "shoot yourself in the foot" by being too aggressive on the basepaths, or intentionally walking too many hitters? Do you look at your opponent's defense, and use the bunt to take advantage of poor defenders he may have at the corners? I'm not accusing you of bad management, because I simply do not know, but I am saying that against the very best pitchers in the history of baseball, it behooves us to look for any edge we can find, and remove any edge we are giving away. But, under any circumstances, he is tough to beat. And it is a very rare team in any OL who does not have a couple of excellent right handed pitchers, you might as well have a loaded lineup to face them.
