You might also want to review your 'game management' policies like...

1. Do you have the optimum batting order for your lineups (optimizing OBP, player speed, power, batting average, stealing ability, etc)?
2. Have you optimized your player rotation (players well rested, righties v lefties, etc.)?
3. How effective are your starting Pitchers & bullpen?
4. Are your relievers getting enough rest between appearances?
5. Do you execute good baserunning strategy versus the opposing team's Pitcher & catcher (hold & catcher arm ratings)?
6. Is your team fielding well enough (especially SS, CF, & C)?
7. Have you identified your teams weaknesses and addressed them through trades & the draft?
8. Are you skilled in managing 'special situations' like hit & run, double steal, hold runners, squeeze, guard sidelines, corners in, etc.)?
9. Does your team have a good locker room (check intangible player ratings like hard work, intelligence, greed, etc.) and read each player's personality synopsis (and expectations)?

Doing well in these things should translate into more wins for your team. Just because we 'manage' our teams doesn't mean that we are all competent managers. I'm in my 7th season now and I'm still learning how to be a better manager. Sometimes our players don't perform up to our expectations because we don't use them to best advantage.
