So do we think that Mike Hampton is on the road to a good year?
He's on the waiver wire. Would you drop one of these starters for him? Chris Carpenter, Arroyo, J. Marquis, or Mark Mulder? As a Cub fan, I wouldn't mind divesting myself of one of the St. Louis guys. Marquis or Carpenter. Though Arroyo's looked a little questionable this year, and is probably only hanging on to his starters spot due to injuries to the rest of the staff.
12 team mixed, with pitching stats being W, S, K-BB, ERA & WHIP.
Hampton's pitching aweful well, but not striking alot of guys out. I can live with the low K-BB total if I wasn't worried that his record has been the result of luck, more than anything this year.
Is he gonna come back to Earth and be the Hampton of the last coupla years, or does he still have some of the pre-2000 Hampton in him?

Hampton has won something like 12 of his last 13 or something similar going back to last year. I was always down on him but if you look at his record he has been pretty impressive. I picked him up off the waiver wire about two weeks ago and certainly can't complain about his performance (even if I accidentally left him on the bench for his last start!). He is definitely worth the pick up.

After seeing Arroyo pitch for Pittsburgh, I can tell you this guy sucks. The AL wasn't used to him last year but I'm sure they figured him out by now. Drop him.
Hampton has reestablished himself and looks to have a career year.
