I'll take Johan Santana if he were there. Santana would vaccum all the votes. I was trying to list guys of similar experience. Harden is on there because his injury problems make him interesting, because his stuff is nasty. D-Train is on there because a lot of people are down on him, and I though it would be interesting to see if he got picked because he's demonstrated star capacity already in the ML. |

I took Verlander here because of his polish, and because the Tigers seem to be doing everything to protect him from injury.
Normally I would have taken Liriano, but the arm injury makes him a bit more of a risk than I would like.
I am also in the distinct minority of people who aren't sold on King Felix just yet. He'll probably be a fantastic pitcher for a long time, but I have my doubts, and because of them, I took polish & performance over potential.

You have to look long term if you are going to pick a pitcher. King Felix may have not had the best rookie season, but he still has the best stuff of all of them and I know he doesn't have the same arm problems Lirano is having in this moment. Rookie seasons can be rough for a lot of pitchers(See Anthony Reyes and Matt Cain at the start of the season) but Hernandez has the best stuff and potential of all of them. It's a risk picking him, but I think its a bigger risk picking Liriano with his arm problems.
