Pitchers: Some Develop Slowly

Below are the statistics for several Braves pitchers starting out their career. Some stats were for part of a season, others are for more than a single season. Which should be given up on?

win/loss-ERA - K/BB
11-07…3.07…3.28Beachy
14-10…3.35…2.82Hanson
09-21…4.85…1.08Glavine
10-09…5.46…2.76Minor
02-07…5.48…1.12Smoltz
06-14…5.61…1.36Maddux

Some pitchers mature quicker than others. When promoted to the majors, almost every player requires an adjustment period. Very few will be lights out right out of the box.
