ATLANTIC CITY SHARKS 293
Nothing worked this week obviously. The revamped lineup produced a weak 166 points, despite a strong +14 contribution from the Off Day Waiver Wire starters. Victor Martinez, Robbie Cano, Maikel Franco and Christian Yelich all posted sub 10 point performances.
The bullpen completely imploded this week, posting totals of -29 (John Axeford), -1 (Jeurys Familia), -19 (Carson Smith), -7 (Jason Motte) for a total of -59 points. Tough to overcome without frontline starters and while my waiver wire picks were decent, King Felix and Aaron Nola combined for 9 points.
Conclusion: More and radical bullpen change or a complete shift of philosophy to a starter heavy staff?
I'm leaning towards trying to replace parts in the bullpen, rather than a complete overhaul. Seems too late in the season to switch horses anyhow.
Pitching Staff as currently constructed:
SP Felix Hernandez
SP Aaron Nola
RP Trevor Rosenthal
RP Kenley Jansen
RP Jeurys Familia
RP John Axeford
RP Jason Motte
RP Carson Smith
RP Joakim Soria
