Comparing Adam Wainwright Vs. Tim Lincecum & A Few Others

With less than 3 months to go before opening day, I wanted to talk a little bit about Adam Wainwright. The reason I wanted to talk about Wainwright is because I was recently reviewing his similarity scores on his Baseball-Reference.com page. I first want to point out that Tim Lincecum is second on Wainwright’s similarity score. On similar pitchers through the age of 28, Hall of Famers Jack Chesbro and Warren Spahn are in Wainwright’s top 10. Orel Hershiser is number one on Wainwright’s similar pitchers through the age of 28. While not a HOF’er, Hershiser is definitely in the hall of very good.
