Hi somer,
I have the answer. It is a problem with relative vs absolute cell references. That sounds so official.
I didn't know what that was either when spreadsheets came out
. More basically you need dollar signs in front of the numbers. Here is a good site to explain it

Here is what was happening. Lets take your formula in cell D5 of = D35. This tells excel to go down 30 rows in the column D and bring back that 721 number. If you move this formula down a cell to D6 it would bring back what was in D36. You need to put a dollar sign in front of the 35 so your formula should read
Cell D5 = D$35. Now when you move the A's At Bats up or down in the sorted list it always pulls the value from row 35.
I've fixed all your formulas and have attached the workbook.
ALSO - you needed to remove the blank column (or part of it) between the team names and their stats. I've moved hitting and pitching team names to column B instead of A to acomplish this.
