Where do I need to improve (WHIR)?

[Santana4Cy]

It's a 12 team, 5x5 roto league. I'm currently sitting in 2nd place, 5 points behind the leader. It has pretty much just been me and him swapping the 1st and 2nd spots all year, but I think I can improve my team, and take over that #1 spot for good.

Runs: 6 points [153; 19 behind the lead]
Home Runs: 12 points [45; 3 in front of 2nd]
RBI: 11 points [164; 3 behind the lead]
Stolen Bases: 3 points [12; 19 behind the lead]
Average: 5.5 points [.270; .030 behind the lead]
Wins: 8 points [14; 5 behind the lead]
Saves: 11 points [22; 3 behind the lead]
Strikeouts: 11 points [193; 2 behind the lead]
ERA: 10 points [3.58; .96 behind the lead]
WHIP: 9 points [1.28; .19 behind the lead]

Thanks for the help on mine.

I think you have enough power numbers to give up Tex to get Crawford. Crawford will help you in pretty much all 5 cats.

agreee with above reply...dange Tex and see if you can get Crawford. He would definately put you over the top.

is maybin back up with the Marlins? Gathright while not hitting for a very high avg. is swiping some bases and could help you pick up a few pts if you can handle the slight avg hit.

definately your OF needs an upgrade, I like the idea of Tex for Crawford, you can always play the flavor of the week at U.
Thanks for your help on mine!
