One of these pitchers is the others, , and .

It has been trendy to anoint Strasburg as the second coming of Bob Feller and if you have watched him he certainly has some nasty stuff but really it is much to early to make such grand prognostications.

Above are 4 players and their stats over 6 games and all are pretty similar but what can we tell from 6 starts? Honestly nothing but that is why this is Small Sample Size Fun™ what I will tell you is this: Stephan Strasburg is very talented but he is very young and even bad pitchers can go through 6 game stretch's where they look invincible.

Strasburg looks dominate but our guy Cainer can put on a show too, as can just about any major league pitcher on a given night. Looking at his line and expecting the hall of fame is just foolish.
