      You drafted a helluva team,even for such a small league.
      I'd suggest trying for some 2 for 1 trades,shorten your offensive bench,and get more arms.Hitters play nearly everyday so they don't need many backups,but pitchers only usually get 1 start a week;And switching them in & out racks up Ws & Ks & the added innings usually brings down whip & era.So unless you have some sort of innings cap,more arms are better than more bats.
      You should try doing this by trading 2 hitters for a better hitter then pickup the best available pitcher off of waivers.But before you pickup a healthy pitcher you should pickup Brandon Beachy,stick him on your DL,then pickup a healthy pitcher.Beachy was a beast before getting injured,and he should come back right around the time when Josh Johnson gets his annual injury;So you could then just switch them.
      An idea for a 2 for 1 trade is something like Wright & Reyes for Miguel Cabrera,it may sound expensive,but Andrus is no drop off from Reyes at all.You'd improve your starting lineup,stash a gem like Beachy,and add another arm to help you compete in the pitching categories (even another closer would be nice.) .
