NL only 4x4. Middle of the pack in all offensive categories. Have 33 of a possible 40 pitching points.
Honestly, I don't think my pitching is that great and wonder if it will hold up. I think one or two guys could get better, but ...
Offensively, I have a couple of players who are underachieving and I don't expect it to change significantly. I'm adding Stephen Drew this week to my active roster now that he's off the DL, but it's not like adding Tulowitzki. (Who will be a boost when he comes back).
Roster
C-Ryan Hanigan
C-Devin Mesoraco
1B-Garrett Jones
2B-Brandon Phillips
SS-Stephen Drew
3B-Pedro Alvarez
CI-Chipper Jones
MI-Everth Cabrera
OF-Drew Stubbs
OF-Carlos Lee
OF-Brandon Belt
OF-Michael Cuddyer
OF-Carlos Quention
UT-Juan Pierre
On the DL I have Jon Jay. I don't see the point of activating him, but I have to decide by tomorrow. He's tied to Juan Pierre, who I really can't see cutting. He had 13 or 14 SBs in June ... Don't expect to keep that up, but another 8-10 each month is unheard of.
I also will be getting Lance Berkman back, but, again, how much of a lift is that going to be?
I don't anticipate having Tulowitzki back before Sept. 1.
I could get a boost if Starling Marte gets called up. But he could struggle as well.
P-Ian Kennedy
P-Kyle Lohse
P-Matt Cain
P-Bud Norris
P-Wandy Rodriguez
P-Clayton Richard
P-JJ Putz
P-Jason Motte
P-David Hernandez
I don't expect Lohse to keep up his pace. I'd like to think Kennedy will come closer to his 2011 numbers than his 2012 first-half numbers. At least some improvement would help.
What can I do to help this team out?
