Well, the pitcher is up there... so that could be a problem. He's 35.

The batter is just 26.

I do realize that signing these guys to big money contracts after just one successful year was pretty risky. I wont do that again. But I was trying to make a run for the championship since I had decent success last year and had TONS of money left for payroll. They're only on two year deals... and the pitcher has the option for the second year of his contract.

Also, though I'm 2-11, 6 of my losses are by 2 runs or fewer, so with a little luck it could be a different story. In fact, I started by losing my first four games by just one run each.

Bottom line is that I learned from this: it's risky to sign a guy to a big contract after just one good season.
