Depends on the defense behind Wang.

Actually, scratch that. Wang is better.

Technically, Carmona is better because he is everything Wang is + some strikeouts. However, I'd like to see Carmona do this for more than one half. Wang has been been a good pitcher for 2.5, going on 3 years.

Just saw Carmona pitch for the first time the other day against the Rangers and I'd say he looked pretty legit. He went 8 deep, holding the Rangers to 3 hits while striking out 7. Given it was aginast the Rangers but he looks like a legit starter. I dunno a whole lot about Wang other than he's been consistent but it looks like Carmona has really turned it around from his 1 - 10 season last year and that he has a chance to continue building on his 12 - 4 season he has turned in so far this year.
