That's pretty realistic of the Pirates, wasting 3 HR's by Bay. They've been playing better in real life recently, but that's typical of their season so far. They have a real good core of young players, however. What they need is another feared hitter in the middle of their lineup, someone to protect Bay.

I am looking for some input on some early season problems...

Who should be my #5 starter...

Paul Maholm 4IP, 3R, 1BB, 1K

Ian Snell 3IP, 2R, 0BB, 1K

Ryan Vogelsong 2IP, 0R, OBB, 2K

or should I sign someone like Ismael Valdez or Tim Drew

Also what should I do about Jeromy Burnitz? He is batting 2-17 with no homeruns or RBI's in four games. Should I give more playing time to Craig Wilson who is 2-5 with a HR and RBI?

I'd go with Maholm, he should have a higher ceiling. Snell is a good choice as well, though. I would definatly play Wilson more, espescially against lefties.
