In the real world, I don't have much faith in Waino.
I am fearful he is pitching on guts and experience as the fastball isn't there -- or doesn't hang around long with a quick velocity drop after the first inning or two -- and he can't control "Uncle Charlie" like he used too.
He looked fairly good Thursday against the Brewers, but I am not sure about the long haul especially with pitchers like Flaherty, Dakota Hudson, John Gant and maybe even Hicks, if they send him back to the minors when some of the injured MLB-experienced pitchers get back and return him to being a starter, chomping at the bit to start in the bigs.
On my OOTP 19 team, Wainwright is doing fine. He's 2-0 with a 2.78 ERA.
