Which rookie pitcher would you choose to build a team around?

Definetly Liriano. He is very young with nasty stuff like Santana. He will be a perenial all-star for many years. Weaver and Hamel dont display the dominance Lirano does when they pitch. They get wins, but dont demolish the teams they pitch against. Liriano is the kinda guy who can win with only 2 runs of support.

Liriano. He has a chance to become something very special. Weaver good but doesn't have incredibly filthy stuff--the AL hitters will figure him out sooner or later, although having him on your team is nothing to complain about. Hamels doesn't come close to the other two.

liriano- he gets the job done by facing hard teams
hamels gives up runs every outing (with the exception of 1 or 2 starts) , and weaver has faced 11 teams with losing records in his 15 starts

Liriano has the highest upside, but Weaver is probably the best bet to stay healthy. I'd take Liriano.

Try Verlander... the rookie of the year AND leader for the Cy Young race. Hamels is nothing too special, and liriano has injury questions.

Without considering injury...
Liriano! Go Twins!

Liriano gets the job done when it needs doin'!
If he stays injury-free, he'll be hot stuff for a long while!
