Hi, if you boosted the Pirates players ratings it isn't panning out. All the "good" bats can't buy a hit in my quick league simulation. Cole has an ERA of 19+ in AAA.
As far as the big league and pitching goes A. J. is the only pitcher that can get a win. The rest of the staff has an ERA of 7+. Also Tabata, who isn't a really good player at all is leading the team in every offensive category.
I don't think your roster update is working out too well although I do appreciate the effort.
I'm going to restart and see if it's the game itself that pays no attention to the work you've done.
