How is this team this bad?

5x5 Roto, 2C, 10 team keeper. I know it is early, but it is frustrating to have the worst hitting in the league and pitching that can't buy a W. How can this team not hit?

Simple. Tex and Manny aren't hitting and I was never super-high on Furcal (as a Braves fan) offensively and his biggest asset is his stolen bases and defense. Furcal is solid, not spectacular. Your RP could stand an upgrade, too. But fear not, baseball is a long season and your guys are bound to turn it around soon.

Ditto the "It's a long season" comment. You'll be fine once Manny and Tex start hitting, and if Zito finds his way to a contender if the A's start to slide.
