Yeah but most of the guys in your lineup are high contact-gap guys that do a little bit of everything. While Ive had similar success on offense, With the playoff teams Ive was built from the strong bullpen and a solid 1-2-3 rotation. Ive had success with the 6 endurance guys too (Jimenez, Rayborn before he was dealt in S3)Quote:

I've always had the 12 pitchers / 13 hitters roster breakdown. I haven't won a championship yet, but I've always had top pitching. I've always gone with a 5 man rotation with a couple exceptions. I think towards the end of one of the TPSL seasons I went with a 4-man...same for TSSL. And I am changing my rotation to a 4-man in TSSL to see how it does.
I've had 3 studs (4.0's) in a rotation and lost. Outside of that I've had 1 - 2 studs with above average 3's, average 4's, and average 5's. I try to have a stud closer and a couple great relievers as far as my bullpen goes. I'll mix in some slightly above average guys and some average guys...occasionally below average guys to be mopups if I have to. But I guess I try to have my starters eat as many innings as possible and get it to my top relievers like most people do.
My hitting has usually been the weak link, but in the playoffs sometimes the pitching hasn't done as well as it did all year. :dunno: I think I tend to focus on pitching and defense a little more than offense because I was a pitcher myself. I like have great pitching...I'm just trying to figure out how to win in the playoffs.
