Luke Hochevar has a lot in common with Chris Carpenter

Provided that you ignore Carpenter's age 24/25 seasons being significantly better than Hochevar's age 24/25 seasons (Carpenter's ERA+ was over 100 in 1999, Hochevar's highest ERA+ was 77 in 2008). Just because Carpenter had a rollercoaster time in Toronto and Hochevar has a rollercoaster time in Kansas City doesn't mean that Hochevar is going to turn out like Carpenter, especially when Carpenter is clearly performing better.

Not to mention that Carpenter's age 23 was better than average and that he was in the Toronto system since 1993.

I'd add more, if the Play Index was working

I have a lot in common with Brad Pitt

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.

I think the post

was saying the comparison is hopeful… among other names dropped were Adam Eaton. I don’t know… I’m thinking Hochevar might be killer in the pen as opposed to starting. I know it’s not a new idea but seems logical since he can dominate for a few innings then get smashed.
