I wouldn't say you have no idea. Seems to me you have a talent base, you just need to put them in more optimal situations. Shoring up the defense a little should make all your pitchers perform better. As Mike always says its plus-minus. I'm an owner who doesn't mind sacrificing a batting order spot with a defense-only player. Minor trade, waiver, or leftover free agent, see if you can dig up an 85-90 Range / 75-80 Glove. Anything he bats over .220 would be acceptable to me. You've got your SS and 2B. Move your other hitters around into better defensive positions for them; see if some might be good fits for righty-lefty platoons. I had this same problem when I started, what the recommendations say are "average" defensive ratings could actually be considered minimums. Without range at all positions, you give up more base hits that don't show up as negatives or errors.
