Kevin, don’t forget that Hanson threw 28.2 innings in the Arizona Fall League. 138 innings in the minors + 28 = 166.2 innings. 166 to 194 isn’t too concerning.

If you look at Hamels from 08 to 09, not much difference in FIP or the peripherals. BABIP is what changed dramatically.
I look at all four of his years. One not so stellar year doesn’t make me think it’s a trend.

hamels really helped himself out last year, too, huh?

Hanson is currently drafting above Josh Beckett. He is very unlikely to be worth the price you will pay.

Hanson went from 138 IP to 194 IP. That is a little scary.
Kershaw has a great park to pitch in as well. That is a nice advantage.
Don’t get me wrong, Hanson is good. But, I need to see it twice before I put him ahead of Kershaw and Hamels.

Keep in mind that Kershaw had a really low HR/FB%. Super low. I think it’s really a toss up between the three.

3rd. Kershaw could be dominant. Hamels will be fine. The WS hype and not being prepared for the season hurt him.

how would you rank him against other young pitchers like cole hamels, and clayton kershaw?
