3. Homer Bailey, for a Bengals comparison, I would say is Kitna
Burrow is better than any Reds pitcher, post-dead-ball: I'd put Rijo as the closest thing, but Burrow at 4 years into his career, is past what Rijo did after 10 years.
Oh yeah, Aaron Harang can pitch circles around Homer Bailey.
The dude brought up Homer Bailey as a comparison for other reasons than talent.
FWIW Burrow is NOT better than any Red's pitcher, post-dead-ball. Dude hasn't played competitive baseball since peewee
