I've already lost T Turner, G Sanchez (should be back next week), Odor (who cares), J Segura (?), Kingery is banged up (hamstring), and probably lost Starling Marte (carted off last night). And for good measure I have Morrow. Vlad can't get called up soon enough.
I don't think I've ever had a team that had no hope in April. It takes skill to put together a team like that
Send me a PM, I think I can help

Not really!

This game is so fickle. My prized NL team that had solid keepers (cheap Acuna, Albies, DeGrom, etc) is now in second to last. Meanwhile I hate the AL but my AL squad has been riding high in first place all season.
One difference: Pitching. I banked on far too many young unproven SP in the NL. Kyle Wright, Corbin Burnes, etc. Paying the price. I thought I would make up for any underperformance through high IP. Difficult to do that when they have been banished to the minors!
My hitters are just tanking so far Aguilar, Dozier, McMahon (forgot to activate him for the 2HR last week), Desmond, Peraza, Kemp, Zorbist and Hampson are a combned 9 HR total for me so far. BA is south of Mendoza. Only thing that is saving me is I'm leading the league with pitching despite Nola and Buehler rough starts. The month of May has to be better.
