Well mine is a John. But given his lack of control I wonder if he doesnt partake of the stuff named after Cpt. Morgan. (probably the big reason he is a 29 year old still rookie). He hasnt been too awful bad in a limited use (3 starts, 4-5 relief appearances). But, obviously in his non-starts I have used him in long-relief or low-leverage situations. (though my bullpen is crap, and I am going to sever ties one way or another in the offseason with 3 of the most used guys (I didnt take over until late July of the current year, took the middling team to within 2 games of the division leader, but we choked against the leaders in our last series of the season against them. We stand 3 1/2 back and we only have 6 games left to play (they have 7 ) So, Morgan might actually get a chance to prove himself more extensively next year (whether I like it or not)

As far as Hogan is concerned I have no idea why he is so good. Slightly below average stuff, slightly above average movement, average control, and his endurance isnt much above the threshold I have for starters. But, his ERA is in the low-3s. And is pretty much the #3 SP. Maybe every batter is named Klink or Shultz.
