I struggled putting this list together.

Essentially my list, but sub out Hammel for Gio Gonzalez. Seriously, we all knew that guy had ace potential, and it is hard for a guy to really "improve" to make a list like this if he's had two straight seasons with sub 3.30 ERA's and holding opponents to a .230 BA. He's cut down on his walks but still gives up a bit too many for my liking but there is no mistaking that he's a better pitcher with the Nats than the A's. Still not as good as Hammel's improvement.
