About a couple weeks ago, I jokingly told someone that Ross Ohlendorf will be the new Doug Drabek. I mean they were both acquired in trades from the Yankees. Both had similar low 90's heat and low to average strikeout numbers as far as I could remember about Drabek. I knew they had similar stats in their first full seasons with the Pirates just from remembering stats from old baseball cards from back in the day. I decided to actually compare Ross' 09 #'s to Doug's in 87 and their lines are almost pretty identical. Check it out

OMG you’re right! Hehe.

Ross doesn't have a mullet!
Therefore, Drabek is better. And if you compare Ohlendorf’s 2009 season with Drabek’s 1987, Drabek gave up fewer homeruns, his WHIP was lower, his K/9 was higher and his BB/9 was lower…

Not by much...
their stats are as close as it will come. They still aren’t comparable pitchers though.

I suppose so.
And Ross was 26 this year while Drabek was 24 in 87.
