2-18 W-L record;
outscored 63-129;
two 7-game losing streaks;
0-3 in extra inning games;
1-4 in one run games;
1-7 in games decided by up to two runs;
11 times gave up at least seven runs in game;
my ace who had a 2.42 ERA up to that point compiled a 4.7 ERA in that stretch including a 0.1 IP / 5 ER performance;
my team was 18-10 fighting for first place, now it's 21-28 dead last;

In a 20 game stretch from game 110 thru game 129 in the Ossie Blue Trial League my team went as follows:
2-18 W-L record;
outscored 63-129;
two 7-game losing streaks;
0-3 in extra inning games;
1-4 in one run games;
1-7 in games decided by up to two runs;
11 times gave up at least seven runs in game;

What I don't understand is why, vRHP, your A/A, B+ speed hitter is batting 7th while your A/A-, B- speed cather's batting 5th. Or why your B-/A+ hitter is two spots ahead of a B/A+ (both with A+ speed). Or why you let ABE pull your ace after only a third of an inning.
Stuff happens, but my guess is there are other ways you're not helping yourself.

on a hunch:
I - the A/A, B+ speed hitter batted 5th most of the time, sometimes 2nd/3rd and is my second choice for a leadoff hitter. he's really young and has been on huge slumps hitting for zero power. I've figured he's in the low grades of the A rating;
the A/A-, B- speed catcher has been one of my only reliable hitters consistently putting up way better power numbers than the previous guy;
now with all that said, I just made that change, after realizing my team had completed one of the most legendary runs of futility I have ever seen. the younger guy batted as low as leadoff just a couple of games ago. http://simdynasty.com/boxscore.jsp?boxscoreid=303242&cityid=26
II - the B/A+ guy has hit an incredibly consistent .650 OPS over 400 at bats. he's been my cleanup hitter most of the time and has been awful at it making me nuts; the other guy is currently an all star batting 100 OPS points higher.
I've figured whichever way their rating are split, the apparently lower skilled guy is the better player;
III - I'm looking into that. whatever preference I setup that made my bullpen more active, it was a disaster!

Now, some owners on here will pull their SPs early to exploit solid bullpens and allow actual hitters to sub in that ninth spot when it comes around. It's a good strategy, just not one I prefer and one you'll probably want to avoid until you get the hang of the sim.

Danny, I like to keep my starters in at the very least until they're tired (actually, until tired and a runner on 1st...or 2nd). I never let them get pulled after giving up X runs/hits after X innings because I never want my bullpen to take over when my starter still has arm. Your starters don't diminish in skill until they begin to tire. And in the case of your SP getting pulled so early, it left it up to the bullpen, which potentially rendered it less effective the next game and the next.Now, some owners on here will pull their SPs early to exploit solid bullpens and allow actual hitters to sub in that ninth spot when it comes around.

Oh, it's a trial league. I forget what kind of managerial options you have there. I know they're limited.
DannyReguero
he has performed better over 400+ at bats.
I'm not arguing your point though. this guy would've been a stud given enough of a sample size - http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=11726880;
but he's been awful and the younger guy - http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=11727225 - is one of my best hitters now.

But I'd caution not to go with hunches. Too many people around here superstitiously move guys around their lineups thinking ABE's doing stuff (for example, I've seen people move C+/A+ hitters in the 3 spot because they believe he's hot and the A/A guy's in a slump...the dopes). Or they stick their ace in the bullpen after a few bad outings thinking an algorithm's messin' around.
For the most part, only the grades matter.

Like you say, you are dealing with small sample sizes. It may be that the B- contact guy is nearly maxed or maxed in power while the other is barely A+. That and lesser pitching talent in a trial league might explain some of it.But I'd caution not to go with hunches.

that doesn't matter. the higher skilled player is always more likely to succeed in the next at bat, which is what matters.

This is not true. You can use advanced management settings in a trial league. Same as any league.

I think you are looking too much into this. In trial leagues, teams are a lot more even. The draft is balanced, so there are no clear cut winners or losers. (Usually) Almost every team has the chance to make playoffs. Teams will have good and bad years all the time. If all teams are equal, then you have a 50% chance to win each game. In dynasty/speed leagues, there will usually be 4-6 clear cut winners and losers for each half of the league. There is more consistency with performance, because the teams are unbalanced.
My point is, you should never invest too much into the performance of a trial league team. These leagues are best for learning the mechanics of the game. When you really want to get invested into the performance of your team, then you should look into pay leagues.

but it is posible that the letter grades are misleading right?
two players that are only separated in skill by a +/- sign may be actually closer in grades than if their skills were within the same letter but further apart in grades.
it doesn't affect your point that "the higher skilled player is always better" only that the higher skilled player may not have the "better" letter in a particular attribute.

I'm guessing that relying on bullpen only works in pay leagues where you had real influx of talent into the league and the time to develop a lot of RP.

I thought that 2-18 funk deserved some looking into.
but yeah having a long running franchise in a pay league is the exact thing that would be damn cool.
I doubt I'm even allowed to pay from Brasil though.

I'm not entirely clear what it you're trying to say. B+ is always better than B. A is always better than B. A is better by more than is B+, but the B+ is still always better.

Player A has A/A hitting skills, but is on the low end of those grades, say 85/85.
Player B has A-/A skills, but on the higher end, say 82/90.
Player B is better in this specific case, even a with high end B+/A, say 74/90, he's right there with Player A.

say Player A is B-/A+ with power maxed out;
Player B is B/A+ on the lowest grade of A+.
I love power for my cleanup spot so I'd rather wanna go with Player A.
