You got that right. Pillsbury, Kirk, and McNett should be okay, I think (It is a pretty high offense league), but I'm pretty worried about Hawthorn. I think this may be the end of the line for him. He's gotten bombed in nearly every outing so far. Rivera will probably take his spot as the 4th starter, which will mean fewer starts for Hawthorn, but Rivera really isn't much better. Unfortunately, there aren't really any great options in the minors right now. Perhaps a trade is in the works....
The bullpen hasn't been great either. I think practically every game has taken one of two forms: Either the starters get bombed, or the bullpen coughs up a late lead. Of course, part of the problem is that the bullpen has gotten overworked due to the poor starting.
Still, the lineup is good enough keep the team in most games, and it looks like Bolling is waking up a bit. That will be a big help, I hope.
