I would look at the outfield, your best fielder should be at CF. But to be brutally honest your pitching looks weak. Your starters have enough stamina but are light on pitching skills. The only good one, and he is really good, is your closer. Sakei, Trujillo and Rogers don't look good enough to me. Stone and Schmitt might be OK, but the rest are fairly marginal. As guide add their numbers for velocity, movement, change-up and control; the higher the better. Just look for pitchers better than what you have. Assuming that being in Div VI means money is tight you need to find some bargain pitchers better than those in your line-up. There were some but I couldn't see many ready made pitchers so you may need to find some discarded younger prospects who have potential that has not been developed. If money isn't a problem sign some older players with higher values, you might get a season or tow out of them in the lower divisions. Good luck

I have done the following. Love seeing the skill increases every Friday. Can't wait for them tone MLB ready. But when you're in division 6 it's low salary, high potential.
