I made some changes last season to some strategy settings and to my lineup (changes that I've never tried before) and you know what I learned from those changes? Nothing. But I'll keep using those changes for now since they make sense to me.

So this season I'm trying some changes that will be easy to tell if they're working or not. I've altered the roles of my bullpen in a way that I've never tried before that I'm hoping will use my relievers in ways that I prefer more often. If it works out, I'll post the changes.

At the moment the Raccoons are 9-1, but 5 of my starters are only hitting .200 or less and yet our team average is .303 (Appling is 16 for 32 and Keeler's, well hitting like Keeler).

Speaking of 99 Appling, he led the league in WAR last year and has been even better than I'd hoped. I wanted to get 100 Brett, but now I'm not sure. I've got Appling at 3B and Zimmerman (or Lajoie) are very good at 1B, though Brett would be better. Maybe I'll get Brett and let him play either 3B or 1B depending on how the others are doing. If I sold Lajoie, that would help fund getting Brett and then it would be an easy decision to put Brett in at 1B.

Decisions, decisions. At this point, I really like everyone on my team and while there are better players, I really hate getting rid of anyone even if it means making the team better.
