How is this team in DEAD last?!

[ocmusicjunkie]

I'm at a total loss for words. After this week, I'm 21-46-3 in the league... last place by eight games. I know some of my top draft picks ended up being worthless (Magglio, Ollie), but this is ridiculous. It's a 12 team h2h 5x5... be honest, is this team THAT poor?

this is a bad team.

I would trade Thome (once he starts to get in the groove of things) and Helton to fill your holes at OF, 2B, and maybe catcher although I think Estrada will get things together. If you want to get better pitching then trade those guys for some solid pitchers. It's your call, but you do have quite a bit of holes.

Catcher, 2B, OF, and SP are all problems on this team. Either see what you can get for Thome and Helton, or maybe even Pujols, if you can sqeeze alot out of the other owner.

Trade Pujols for Arod. Move Helton to 1st, then trade Castilla for Marcus Giles. That should help. Your need strong bats and better RP. Also, speed in the OF would help.

Trade Castilla for Marcus Giles? Is this one of those 'wishing makes it so' leagues?
