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.

Yeah OOTP likes him in the first season, after that.. a major drop off. I just keep him around for his leadership skills.
I thought we would finally dethrone the Cubs in 2019 but my OOTP Cardinals are doing horrible so far 50 games into the season. Might have to fire Matheny if we don't turn it around. Heck, we have the 6th highest payroll this season.
