Sallyleaguer, to be fair, I have no idea how you can claim that. I just opened up the Centerfield world and looked at a couple of teams. The vast majority of 1st place teams in any division have pitching that meets the criteria, as do a good number of 2nd place teams. In the NL, I only opened up three teams, but all three of them meet or exceed the quality of my staff: Tampa Bay, Mexico City, and Boise.

Since you're midseason, it would probably be difficult to find a solution right now to this problem. But in the long run, you can strive to build a staff of pitchers who all (or in their majority) follow the "210 rule."
Control + vL + vR >= 210
Like I said earlier, besides the gb rating (which you hit on), I'm pretty sure splits and control are more important in hitters' parks.
