Considering i was up against one of the best teams in the league, I'll take that 5-6-3 loss.The matchups were pretty close overall.

That is one of the reasons I like trading....everyone likes who they draft but if you finish outside of playoffs that will not matter. Sometimes shake ups can work.
I think my hitters can be much better than they have been, and be scary. Don't love my pitching this year.

Dumb thing is when they do good it's streaky. The most consistent player I had was Buxton then he got hurt.
Every time I remove Petersen from the line up he hits a damn HR...
I seriously have the worst luck in this game. Whomever I draft seems to get hurt. Buxton is back on the DL after getting hit by a pitch and returning for being out for weeks... Bregman hurt, Mondesi hurt, Soto was hurt, Bennintendi hurt, Segura hurt.
That's an all-star caliber IL team...
These are all players I researched and recruited. A baseball scout I am not apparently...
While I can clearly see looking at the results that your team is not very good, some of these look to be good picks and just injuries that happen/nothing predictable:
Soto is a round 1 lock, I don't think anyone would argue with that pick
Bregman, you got a pretty good value there. He looks like he might be a "Trash Can Aided Guy" as his numbers are down but not a predictable injury guy
Late Round picks are always flyers:
Benetendi sucked absolute balls in 2019 and was even worse last year, when played in less than 15 games...because of injury.
That being the case, you spent a 21st round (pick #203) pick on him. That is not bad. Looking at his ranking for the season he is a legitimate starting OF for a fantasy roster -- for a 21st round pick that is good.
Segura was undrafted and a very good pick up. Basic consensus going
into the season was that he sucks. That is why he was not picked in 231
picks. Sucks for you (and really for the Phillies!) that he is out.
These are the two where I think you could say that you missed on your scouting...perhaps it is your passion for talent and minor league hyped players. Both of these guys have the types of baseball talent that scouts drool over....but they are both also guys that many fantasy writers/players automatically avoid/add to their Do Not Draft lists because there are always some folks in drafts willing to pay more than likely is warranted for risky picks.
Mondesi was hurt going into the draft & has been hurt
multiple times over the past few years. He was there in the 3rd round
not because of his skill but because people don't generally like to
draft dudes who get hurt all of the time up that high. High risk,
potentially high reward. You gamble sometimes you get the shit end of
the stick.
Buxton was a value pick in the 12th round but is also a guy who was
there due to history of injuries and under-performance. Many passed on
considering him due to this so it shouldn't be a shock he is out on the
IL.
They could both be stars come playoff time...but you need to make the playoffs to be able to benefit from that and with this being a stat compilation game throughout the season to get there taking dudes with suspect injury history is always a risk.
I know about shitty picks and some shitty luck.
Anthony Rendon was my 2nd pick and he is hot fucking trash. Awful. Injured a lot and when he is on the field he blows. No reason to expect he would be horrendous.
Glasnow was a "great" pick as my first SP in the 6th round, was a top 5 SP. Injured/done until perhaps the end of the year.
I went Yaz/Robles/Corbin 11/12/13 and cut them all. Horrible 3 picks in a row....all 3 were reaches.
Bunch of other draft moves I made were AWFUL.
Gotta make good wire moves/trades. Sitting on the team you draft is almost always a bad idea in this game, imo.
Still time for you to claw your way back into it but I would suggest trading/making moves and shaking the tree.

Yaz and Robles were great picks going in for you as was Glasnow. I have zero problems w those guys. Robles fell off a cliff too.
Buxton I knew would get hurt but with the litany of outfielders I had he was worth it. The recent injury just friggin sux.
I placed my team in a position to weather an injury or two. Having 5 players hurt at the same time is just awful.
Let me check some trades out and see what I can do.
EDIT: Segura has put together a decent career and not sure why the hate for him?

I think the inconsistency throughout many of the seasons and just matching him up against the other options at his positions. Not saying Segura hasn't been on teams most years but his going undrafted means we all pretty much felt that way.

He has been good this year, though.
He is a late round pick up for me always. Not someone I'm choosing early usually.
Was doing pretty well last week until Friday came and Nola had a horrible game. Least still in contention and so far doing well this week

I am in first place in all 4 of my fantasy baseball leagues right now....which means I will win none of them. For some reason being in first always seems to be a jinx to me.
6 weeks left until playoffs. Everyone is still in it, it looks like Chris and Eric sitting in 7th and 8th are a few strong weeks away from putting pressure on the 2 slots in front of them.
Placed 1-4 look pretty solid, but a collapse can always happen.
Turner (covid)
Castellanos IL
Rendon IL
2 of those 3 were in best hitters category, and Rendon pretty much sucked although he was meant to be in that category.
last week before playoff starts. Looks like is should sneak into the final playoff spot. My hitting has been great, unfortunately my pitching has been up and down (mostly down recently)

The lack of hitting is driving me nuts oh and my team never does well on a Friday...
I think my hitters can be much better than they have been, and be scary.
Don't love my pitching this year.

Bregman hurt, Mondesi hurt, Soto was hurt, Bennintendi hurt, Segura hurt.
