I doubt it. Floyd is heating up again, and I've always like Manny Parra (he's not quite there yet), Romero is still pretty green himself too. Who's to say what we'll get from Hanson, you can't base major league success on minor league numbers especially when it comes to pitching. Guys like Homer Bailey and Phil Hughes should have been superstars, but they never will be. While guys like Josh Outman and Josh Geer who should have been destroyed have pitched moderately well and held their own (I'm sure there is a better example but I couldn't think of one). It all depends on how well they adapt. I'm known on another forum for having a pretty decent success rate with calling out rookie pitchers as being the real deal or a bust. Between you and me it's a bit of a smoke and mirrors trick. I can call them all busts and still be right more often than I'm wrong, but I think Hanson will become a great major league pitcher. I wouldn't worry to much about him in one year leagues, but in long term leagues he's worth acquiring by almost any means necessary.
