These guys are genuinely considered the top three sp's going into the 09 season. But I'm having a hard time ranking them for my sportsline h2h league. Here's a little breakdown:
Player
Sabathia 08 stats- #1 sp, 17-10, 251 k, 760.5 pts
09 proj.- #1 sp, 19-8, 220 k, 680.5 pts
Lincecum 08 stats- #3 sp, 18-5, 265 k, 710 pts
09 proj.- #2 sp, 17-9, 248 k, 664.5 pts
J. Santana 08 stats- #6 sp, 16-7, 206 k, 651 pts
09 proj.- #3 sp, 19-7, 220 k, 662 pts
All three are flat out studs but my guts tells me with KRod & Putz in NY that Santana has a real chance to have a special season. He led all pitchers in quality starts last season. CC should do fine in NY but will it take a bit to get adjusted plus will all of those innings catch up to him? Lincecum is a k machine but I have a hard time seeing him winning 18 games again in SF.
Any feedback is appreciated.
