My Fantasy Baseball Team Stinks

I am the reigning, and I won the year before as well, National League Champion of the Fantasy Sports Invitational Challenge. Now this is one of the most recognized, esteemed fantasy baseball expert leagues on the net and boasts sites competing that include: Sporting News, Hardball Times, Razzball, and many others. So I think it is fair to say I can play a bit. But I really stunk it up at my March 22nd draft, and since then my team has just gotten worse as MLB teams trim their rosters. Here is my team:
C Russell Martin, LA
1B Albert Pujols, StL
2B Kaz Matsui, Hou
3B Casey Blake, LA
SS Edgar Renteria, SF
2B Anderson Hernandez, Was- Now Injured
CI Carlos Delgado, NYM
OF Josh Anderson, Atl- Starting OF since traded to Detroit and sitting the bench.
OF Eric Byrnes, Ari
OF Jeff Francoeur, Atl
OF Fernando Tatis, NYM
OF Josh Willingham, Was
U Joe Mather, StL- Since lost his starting job.
Res C Miquel Montero, Ari
Res OF Willie Harris, Was
Res 2B Damion Easley, NYM- Now starting in place of Hernandez.
Res OF Norris Hopper
P Bronson Arroyo, Cin
P Francisco Cordero, Cin
P Zach Duke, Pit
P Mike Gonzalez, Atl
P Cole Hamels, Phi
P Dan Haren, Ari
P Livan Hernandez, NYM
P Saul Rivera, Was
P Jordan Zimmerman, Was
Now I knew my pitching was going to be very good for a league this deep and I was willing to take some offensive chances. But the team really needed Josh Anderson to start and steal 40-50 bases. It also needed Tatis or Byrnes to find a starting job and the other 400 or so AB's. At this point, I definately think a three-peat is little more than a dream.
