Simply stated... who is going to have the best year this season?

Clayton Kershaw
Tommy Hanson
Yovani Gallardo
Ubaldo Jimenez

I have first pick in a 10 team H2H keeper league and all the top tier pitchers are being kept.

This league was setup to be a pitcher favored league...

I currently have Dan Haren, Josh Johnson, Evan Longoria, and Ryan Howard kept....

I listed them in order of how I am considering them....

Thanks in advance

I'm leaning towards Hanson but I don't have a big difference in my rankings between him and Kershaw.

Ya it really is a toss up between Kershaw and Hanson. I may be inclined to go Kershaw because he plays on a better team. Couple years younger too. Im really grasping at straws though :-b

its a coin toss

Hanson first, Jimenez second.

Kershaw and Gallardo have greater wildness issues (which leads to a higher expected WHIP in the 1.3s), and I'm not going to draft them assuming that will definitely be fixed.

Kershaw for me.

I like Gallardo

Flip flop with Gallardo and Kershaw . Either one for me.

This season, I'd say Ubaldo is most likely to have the best year. Long-term, I'd probably go with Kershaw because of his K rate and a big room for improvement (i.e. reducing the walk rate, transitioning from a FB/curve pitcher to a FB/curve/change/slider pitcher).

Looks like the general concensus is Kershaw... in one way or another..... that's who I was thinking too... I am also basing this on a solid keeper for next year and I think Kershaw is a step in the right direction for this year and next..... thanks all
