Around SBN: The End Of Sabanball: Details, Barbarians, And Precision

Pitching staff old vs. new

After a turbulent yet successful first year of starting from Haren and Blanton I wanted to look at their stats vs. Hudson and Mulder's. I'll throw in Zito and Harden's numbers for fun. Here's the minor league totals according to thebaseballcube.com and the ages are their first season with 10+ starts.

First thing I notice is
Harden has ridiculous stats, and should be the best of all if his arm / oblique don't fall off. Also that the new guys have pitched much more innings in the minors at the same ages as the old guys.

Hares gonna be great
but HARDEN'S A FREAKING STUD!
If Barry Zito ends up with the Angels, I will jump off the Bay Bridge in my Banjo man replica cape!
