Giants Log finally got some offense!

I started a Giants log and I made a couple trades and did the draft, simmed the first season because a knew I would do badly went 70-92.
In the draft in the first round I picked Michael Mccurdy, he was a big dissapointment and only has 83 top spd. At least he has a level 3 curve is only 20 and has 4 star potential, however in the second roud I got a steal, John Pearce
He is a lefty who's top speed is 95, has a level 4 slider, level 3, curve and a level 2 knuckle ball. He has B stamina and D control.
I traded Barry Zito and Bengie Molina to the Phillies for Pat Burrell and Carlos Ruiz and 1000 points, this got my team cheaper, and better hitting.

I signed Dan Johnson and he was a monster hit 33 homers. Has throwing 4 so thinking of converting him to catcher. Also signed Matt Morris, Fernando Hernandez, Hideo Nomo, Tomas Perez and Great Wood, can't use the wii right now but I wan't to go to free agency.
My lineup looked like this
1. 2b Ray Duhram
2. RF Randy Winn
3. CF Aaron Rowand
4. LF Pat Burrell
5. 1B Dan Johnson
6. C Carlos Ruiz
7. SS Omar Vizquel
8. 3B Jose Castillo
9. Pitcher

Rotation
1. Tim Lincecum
2. Matt Cain
3. Drafted pitcher
4. Noah Lowry
5. Kevin Correia
6. Hideo Nomo

In my first spring training game against the mariners Jake Peavy pitched very well, he pitched 5 scoreless innnings, but then Pearce(the rookie I drafted) came in and gave up a run, I let him finish the inning and put in Matt Cain. Cain pitched two scoreless innings and in the bottom of the 7th Pat Burrell came up and hit a solo homer to tie the game. It went into the 9th tied 1-1 Tim Lincecum pitched a scoreless inning, then I had Rowand, Burrell and Johnson coming up, maybe my 3 best hitters, Aaron Rowand got the count to 2-2 5th pitch: fouled off 6th pitch:fouled off 7th pitch fouled off 8th pitch: [size=200]JACKED INTO THE STANDS[/size]

You mean the bar is almost full? I'm sorry I couldn't warn you against trying that in advance. Intimidator (well, for pitchers, haven't tried for hitters yet), is literally nearly impossible to get, so far I've corrupted my file 20 times reloading for it and still haven't gotten it.

There are some trade rumors going on. Dan Johnson has been converted to Right field(he has throwing 4). After a very bad year the Indians are looking to rebuild, although their offense has gotten much, much better, the giants' offense still isn't where they want it to be, there are some rumors that Travis Hafner is headed to the giants and that the Giants might send Randy Winn and Michael Mccurdy, the first round draft pick with 4 star potential Mccurdy only throws 83 but has some good breaking pitches

I think it's a no brainer, what do you guys think?
