I picked up a couple people off waivers to fill voids, lost Andruw Jones, but got Dice K and David Wright for basicall Jones and a couple minor leaguers. Haven't had too many injuries, at least not enough to be 20 games under .500! The mood of my players is good, or so it appears. Any ideas on what to do to improve, or what you have done to be sucessful? My batters can't hit, my pitchers can't pitch. I just started simming everything after the break, because the season was so out of hand. I really like the game, but like some other people, just feel so overwhelmed and don't know where to start fixing. I try tweaking stuff, like loading up with right handed hitters against lefties, switching up the lineups, bringing up guys that are doing well in the minors, but it just seems like nothing works for me. My goal was to be .500, so my owner is "furious"

Do you have scouting/coaching on?
Scouting especially can put so much fog into player evaluation that it is a total crapshoot. Coaching not so much but bad coaches relative to the rest of the league, can reduce player development and output.
If you don't have S/C on critically compare your team to the successful teams. Check for player quality. Do you have highly rated players at key positions. Sometimes you'll be surprised. Check stats; ie players who over/under perform vs ratings. Is your defense good enough. I find that v11's defensive influence (a global setting) may be a bit too high.
Just my 2 cents.
