my team is
c- sanchez
1b- goldy, votto, hanley
2b- trea turner
3b- rendon/franco
ss- story
of- pollock, billy hamilton, keon broxton, kole calhoun, ozuna, carlos gomez
SP- verlander, cole, quintana, paxton, jon gray, matt shoemaker, steven matz
RP- feliz, f-rod, blake treinen
thoughts/strategy going forward? i don't really know what the optimal amount of pitchers v batters is or anything. feel free to tell me my team sucks and i have no chance. i honestly have zero clue if this team is any good. since i only have one ss/2b should i grab some guy with dual eligibilty there like jedd gyorko? he is available
Settings are a bit weird, but from looking, taking Turner, Hamilton, Pollock, Broxton, etc, you have way too much speed. Speed guys often only contribute in SB and R, and with little power they contribute little in RBI/HR, often OBP, and even less in TB (for example, Billy Hamilton had 141 TB in 119 games, a little over 1 base per game).
As for your pitching, you have a lot of solid guys, but probably for a good reason, they're likely to get Losses. Most those SP's are not on playoff caliber teams, and likely why they fell (same for your closers).
I'd look to possibly trade some speed for a power guy or some better SP's on winning teams, and keep an eye on picking up SP's on teams that you'll get the W for, or good streaming pitchers.
