Sum this week up for me please.

Postby shoelessjoetara » Sun Apr 12, 2009 7:52 pm

I am kind of frustrated with the way my team performed this week. I thought I would hit way more HR than I hit this week, I also thought I would have more RBI also. Berkman, Wright, Kemp didn't really perform like I thought they would. According to the drafttracker from rookies and cream, I should destroy my league offensively but it is the other way around. Please tell me its going to be OK.

Some teams will simply not explode offensively every single week of the season. Over the course of 162 games, the teams will even out and your star players will produce. You just have to take this week in stride and be aware that your players are not going to jack a plethora of homeruns each week. Take my situation for example. I hit .270 with 9 homeruns. Quite pathetic. But I'm not about to panick and drop guys like Tex or Hamels to shake things up. Due a little tinkering here and there and perhaps pick up a hot bat (maybe Emilio if he is still available).

No he isn't available. Its a 14 team league so the pickings are slim when it comes to the WW. I guess I am just expecting my guys to come out and produce like they should out of the gate. David Wright has 0 RBI and 0 HR. Berkman has 1 HR and 1 RBI. It kind of ticks me off I guess when I see teams that I know will struggle out produce my team and I know they will produce eventually.

It is one week at the beginning of the season. Probably the single biggest week of statistical fluctuation in the season.

They won't produce. Drop them all before you fall too far behind.

I used the drafttracker tool as well. I am in first, for now. You do realize that stats are accumulated through the entire season. David Wright will not end the season with 0 HR's and 0 RBI's.

I assume you are in a weekly H2H league? So what did your pitchers do?

Its a roto league not a H2H league. I had 4 saves and 2 wins. I should have had 2-3 more wins if it wasn't for poor defense and bad bullpen outings. My pitching held itsown but the offense was lacking and that is what I thought would be my strong point.
