I do enjoy trying to figure out comps though. Trevor Bauer is one I read for Anderson and I could see that happening. Similar fastballs and changeups. Bauer had a curve and slider but looks to have abandoned the slider. Anderson's breaking ball could go either way. Both were also 3rd overall picks oddly enough.

I might throw Kip Wells out there as another comp for Anderson. I could see Anderson having a very similar career to Wells.
You see Mussina on comps outside the organization as well. Not sure who was there first.

I think all comps should be taken with a grain of salt though. Even the guys with the best comps are more likely to fail than be hall of famers.
