Can Drew Pomeranz be this year’s Derek Holland?

Last season, the Giants signed Derek Holland to a minor league contract. The lefty was coming off a terrible year. His ERA was north of 6.00, his strikeout rate plummeted, and his walk rate soared. He wound up leading the Giants in innings pitched, and had his best season in years.

This season, the Giants have signed Drew Pomeranz to a one year contract. The lefty is coming off a terrible year. His ERA was north of 6.00, his strikeout rate plummeted, and his walk rate soared. Is there any hope that Pomeranz can bounce back like Holland did?
