As for Hart, I have little confidence in him. He's my bet for the David Aardsma/Rocky Cherry of next year, the guy that everyone expects too much out of based on too little. I'd rather have Gallagher than Hart. Of course I'd rather stay away from Renteria too but that's another story.

Hart's pitch aresenal is way better than that of Aardsma or Cherry and hopefully his FB velocity isn't as sporadic as those two's were.

By the way, looking at those old Fausto Carmona descriptions actually remind me of Jeff Samardzia. Raw and unfinished, sinking pitches, throws hard, has the necessary pitches to be a frontline starter, shouldn't be as hittable as he is. Hopefully Samardzija can make the adjustments that Carmona made.

Wow. That is pretty good. Never put 2 and 2 together, but that's as good a comparison as I've seen in a while.
