    Where’s Ralph Kiner?
    This one was very hard for me. Certainly Kiner’s power would help the Pirates considerably. The problem then lies with Stargell already playing LF. I could have my LF both be Kiner and Stargell but I felt they were too similar and I can only start 1. I could play Kiner at DH, but then what do you do with Paul Waner? Waner is too good to keep on the bench.
