He was also 5-3 in post season with an ERA under 3. Hamels last 4 years are 51-37 with 6-4 in post season 3.45 ERA. Avery's run of 4 good years top Hamels' last 4. The funny thing about history is people tend to forget it.

lets compare career stats to men who are in the middle of their prime and have 5-7 years left in their career!
Hamels was miserable in 2009. that will do a funny thing to your stats. I'd take Hamels any day of the year over Steve Avery. Plus he's still a 26 year old kid! With a WS MVP!
funny thing you guys comparing career stats to people in the midst of their prime.
