Specific players you CANNOT hit with?

[thetruthticket]

Hey I searched the forums for an answer to this question to no avail. Does anyone else have a player on their team who they cannot hit with at ALL? For me in '13 and this year is still Melky Cabrera. His contact is high but I cannot hit for average or power with him. He is pretty much an auto out. Anyone else experience this? any tips how to turn it around? Thanks.

I'm in third season of my fantasy franchise, and for the first two I couldn't hit with Jose Altuve at all. 9/10 times I would go 0-4 with him. He's lucky the sim allowed him to bat .249 the first season and around .260 the second.

Now a month into my third season his average is well over .300, and I expect nothing less than a two hit game from him every time I play. I have no idea what i'm doing differently (because i'm not doing anything differently) But it's just clicking.

Maybe you need to get to your third season to hit with Melky

Jose Abreu, especially against RH pitching, its gotten so bad I am strongly considering making him a platoon player.

I can't do a damn thing with Wil Myers in my Rays franchise. His bat has been cold for a month and half.

36 games
131 AB
.183 AVG
4 HR
15 RBI
11 BB
.245 OBP
.328 SLG%

Josh Donaldson went cold for about the first two months and just about every at bat I had with him, he would either pop out or strike out (similar to what hes going through now). The instant I hit May, something just snapped and by the end of it hes hitting around .290. Sometimes cold and hot streaks really take affect on stronger hitters more than others.

I also do a lot of home run derbies for the hell of it and find that I hit with right handed batters much better than lefts. I find it really odd.

Joe Mauer is atrocious for me.

I can't get a hit with Emilio Bonifacio if my life depended on it. I can't even count how many line drives to the outfield I've hit with him that have been caught. I'm almost through April now and he only has I think 4 or 5 hits and is batting about .098. I already decided to bench him for Justin Ruggiano, but now Ruggiano is struggling and I'm contemplating platooning the two or if I should consider sending down/designating Bonifacio. Starlin Castro is flirting with the Mendoza line as well, but at least I've hit a couple home runs with him. Oddly enough Darwin Barney, of all people, is my third-best hitter behind Rizzo and Schierholtz.

Ouch!! my man. What did you do with him? Play or bench him? I have some doozies too. Freeman .185 and J. Upton .145 thru 19 games...
