I am putting together a trade with a manager who will accept either of these two pitchers as part of my side of the deal.
Which one would you consider more valuable, not only for this season but as a keeper? I am tempted to hang onto Liriano and trade Hanson, but i wanted everyone's input.
Thanks.

I am a big fan of Tommy Hanson. He hasn't been great this year, but I think there's a lot of greatness to come from his arm. Liriano worries me a lot. He's a very volatile player. If it were just this season, I'd say it's a toss up between the two. Maybe a slight nod to Liriano because of the Ks, but I think the other stats will be similar for the rest of the year. But since its a keeper league, I would definitely go with Hanson.
I would rather have Liriano, but that's just personal opinion. Either way, it's very close. Both of them are pretty dominant but have the occasional clunker of a game. Liriano has a bit more risk, but IMO, the higher upside.

There arent too many dominant RHP in the game, but if I have the opportunity to get Hanson in a deal I would jump on it. He is proven to be reliable without injury concern. Hang on to him especially in a keeper league.
Liriano is always a LHP you would like to have if he is healthy and pithing to his capability, but history shows a track record of uncertainty.
