your team isnt great but it doesnt seem that bad either, exactly what areas have you been losing in ?

[Bloody Nipples]

Last week was the first week I had an ERA under 4. I do great in saves but not that great in all the other pitching cats. I do well in doubles, but my average is not very good. It seems to be something different every week. There is no one thing I always do badly in, except for most of the pitching cats, but I always thought that I had a good staff that simply wasnt pitching to its potential.

yeah there's not too many bad things about your squad

[WeaponsMasProduction]

obviously you'll be better when young and wood get back, whos available via free agency, post some people and ill take a look. thanks for answering mine too btw

solid team for a 12 team league. One thing I would do is play Figgins over Gibbons. Overall, solid team. Your rank will go up if you choose the right ones to start.

That has been a problem for me lately. I benched Figgins when he went off for 5 RBI and a grand slam, and benched Dye and Gibbons when they had HRs.

There arent many FA out there, so I dont really think I can upgrade that way. Some are

Crosby
Sledge
Crede
B Roberts (I dropped him for Utley)
Phelps
Mourneau

Carpinter
Shields
Almanzar
Arroyo
weaver
Vargas

Any ideas?

Nah. Your 3b, ss, and IF looks fine. Mcab, Tejada, Overbay should all do great. I wouldn't pick up anybody off those fa pool. Keep an eye on Arroyo and Carpenter though. They've been pretty solid.

any other opinions?

Greinke is a good 5 inning pitcher but a GREAT prospect for the future. He will be limited severly to a set number of pitches each start so chances are he won't get a lot of wins not to mention he plays for a sorry team that is on the verge of doing a firesale. I would consider dropping him for either Arroyo or Carpenter due to fact that both play on teams with solid offenses and could easily win 10-15 games without sneezing.

Other than that your offense is pretty solid for a 12-team league, don't worry some of those guys are just having bad Mays and should start to heat up as the summer rolls around.
