Top Ten SP for 2008

[tinfoilxtouch]

webb and oswalt have slipped in my mind. i'd rather have a younger ace who k's more in bedard then those 2.

1 Santana
2 Peavy
3 Bedard

So do you think the O's are going to land Arod, or does your league not count wins. No O's pitcher is going that high in a 5x5.

I think the Leo Mazzone effect on Bedard has been dynamite on his numbers. He's no longer a one-dimensional power pitcher as his offspeed pitches make him more well-rounded, which also increases his pitching efficiency. Bedard as the top K pitcher in the league thus far warrants a top 5 spot at the least. Wins aren't the most important factor, but if he chips in with 13-15, I'd be happy.

Make that 8 in a row

you know he could make a case for 2nd over peavey .... he's that talented. people still under rated Bedard so who knows.

and yea Leo defiently helped him out because the amount of K's he gets is just ridiculous. his stuff was always there but he seems to have learned how to mix them up and changes speeds more.

this is what 4 year in a row of improving in all areas now?

Bedard is obviously good but Peavy has been consistently dominant for years now. Plus Peavy is younger and has less health problems than Bedard. I'd take Peavy over Bedard without even thinking about it.

Won't be needing any of these lists; Hitters get the job done.

H Matsui, Vernon Wells, Atkins, Braun, Upton > CC, Bedard, Webb, Zambarno, Hamels

That makes absolutely no sense. Atkins > Zambrano, Webb, Hamels? Wells > Webb, CC, Hamels? You would honestly do that and win your league?
