Shields above Santana and Lackey? eh. I agree about moving cliff Lee down, though. I like Garza's spot, though.
Too many in the aces tier, an ace is a guy who I have almost no questions about and feel absolutely comfortable with. The top guys tier also seems a bit large, there are too many question marks in that group for me.

Yeah I don't know if the last group in the aces section belongs in the top tier. Also Halladay is on the top tier for me. Always underrated.
I think I would have the ace cut off at Hamels maybe Haren. I like them and the above as #1's. I like the list but im not as high on volquez or harden. Solid list though nice work
