im also a lefty, i used to hit the batter more than i threw a ball, but anyway now when i warmup and practice i exaggerate every movement i make and that helps alot, but when you're throwing and you have your arm behiend you should try to reach back as far as you can and place the ball on second base.

Evaluate your lineup and player attributes. Place the best contact hitters and speed runners near the top of the lineup and play small ball to score runs early. Be aggressive on the bases and try to steal often. Most pitchers won't expect it, or might make a bad throw to the base, either way you advance the runners. Teach the hitters to work the count and take pitches. Most pitchers will not get the ball over the plate everytime. You can get more walks and increase the pitch count on the opposition which will force them to go to the bullpen. Play the outfield deep so they can run toward the ball if it is hit shallow, it is much harder to run backwards and catch a pop fly. Teach pitchers two good pitches and make them stick with it. A decent breaking ball in would very difficult for most 16 yr old hitters to make contact with. Even if the breaking ball ends up in the dirt , they will swing. I could be more specific if you gave more detail on the team's weaknesses.

if you need help at pitching i would do it.  Guillen is a very good offensive player on a very good offensive team.  He's not jeter, but ponson is no penny and wickman.  You get a lot in return for jeter and ponson.  I'd do it, you pitching will be better and deeper and u will give up just a few runs and rbi's with guillen, average will stay the same, so will hr's.  Very good trade for you.  Take advantage of the yankee fans! hehe

I would do it. You have plenty of power in your line-up. The defending A.L. batting champ will help with the average, and score you some runs as well.

Here's a link to some very informative fast pitch material which, in chart form, nicely presents situations for a pitcher and recommended pitch types and placement. I'm sorry, it is much too detailed to recap for you here, but I recommend that if you are serious about being an effective fast pitch chucker, you place the link in your favourites or print it out. ty.

It sounds like you got a solution to your closer problem. Not a bad deal, either. I like Turnbow. His ERA won't kill you, unlike some closers, and he strikes out a fair amount of guys. I think you did well here.

You gotta get an agent who believes in your idea (because they will get 10% of everything you make from their arrangements).  They can get you in the door to have the pitch.  Agents aren't really trustworthy, but they have all the contacts you don't.

go to a bookstore online or in person, get a book called "Nolan Ryans Pitchers' Bible". :) Read it religiously ;) a fantastic book written by the most unhittable pitcher in baseball history. he talks all about his training regimends.

Anything is possible.  Pitching is key.

You should have noticed that you don't have any closer.  Your batters and starting pitchers are above average.\n\nSince it's really hard to trade a good closer, my advice is not to get any of them.  Trade for one closer won't help you too much, because in a 12-team league most of the teams have 2-3 closers already.\n\nTry to win some categories, but not win them all.  For example, drop Batista and Putz and try to get more Wins and Ks.  In a 5x5 league you would win 2 out of 5 pitching categoeis, and if you can have a low ERA/WHIP (highly possible with your pitchers), you would win.  You should also trade some batters. because most of the time those bench batters contribute nothing to your team.

The coaches will be looking for fundementals.  Make sure that you do everything the right way and make good throws.  If you need to, overexaggerate things like catching flyballs with two hands, and fielding groundballs in front of you.

Relax and find your marks. If you've never pitched before you are probably not going to last long. It takes awhile to build up the stamina to pitch for a long period of time. It's not so much the shoulder and arm as it is the legs from pushing off the rubber. My daughter has been pitching for several years and it took her a couple seasons to get to the point she could pitch a full game without wearing out.

Honestly, I feel that you have too much starting pitching. You will probably top the Wins catorgory in your league but your ERA  and WHIP will be high and your Saves and K will be low. RPs almost always do better in those catogories.  Consider trading one of your starters for a closer with a high K/IP and a low WHIP and ERA. A high K/IP guy that might be available on the FA market is J J Putz. \nAlso, maybe you could trade some of that SP for some speed like Brian Roberts or Pods. Willy Travaras and Dave Roberts are often availible as a base stealers via FA.\nAnyway, good luck and have fun!
