May 17, 20178 yr QUOTE (daa84 @ May 16, 2017 -> 11:09 AM) This is more a caution to not be overly pessimistic about Giolito, rather than a caution to be optimistic about Hansen, but they are only 3 month apart in age. Giolito was drafted out of high school, while Hansen was drafted out of college. I really don't read all that much into it.
May 17, 20178 yr QUOTE (Donaldo @ May 16, 2017 -> 07:20 PM) Giolito was drafted out of high school, while Hansen was drafted out of college. I really don't read all that much into it. I suppose you can look at it like Tim Beckham was drafted the same year as Gordon Beckham and didn't hit his stride as a big leaguer until he was 26-27 years old. (Obviously, Hansen was more of a "project" and hard a difficult time even sticking in the OU rotation, compared to being a Golden Spikes winner.) Or that Giolito doesn't have nearly the same mileage on his arm (minus the TJ), nor the experience. Potential, always a dangerous word. Edited May 17, 20178 yr by caulfield12
