Thanks for the help on mine. I think your starters look pretty good. Depending on how your league is setup with DL spots and if you have playoffs, I'd probably put Smoltz in the Sanchez area. I'd probably leave Pedro and Carpenter off the list.

On the closer list, I'd probably swap Capps and Hoffman. Otherwise it's pretty good. By the time you get to the bottom of the list, it's pretty much hit or miss.

I would bump up Maine 10-15 spots. O Perez has a lot of upside if he can become consistent.

I'll get to the closers later.

I also endorse Hootie's descriptions for the starters. Sanchez is much better than last year's numbers suggest.

I can't believe that people are this low on Bedard. He's pretty dominant when healthy...he has bigtime K potential. I like he and Lowe the best from the SP group. I like Broxton the best out of anyone on the list....young stud with a ton of potential.

Bedard's command vanished even before his injury (4+ BB/9). I think he's a top 50 pitcher, but I wouldn't risk too much due to the wealth of talent at pitcher this year.

I gave Bedard a 5. Not bad.
Lowe is getting overrated a bit. Go look at his home/road splits. He's not in LA anymore.
Jimenez is the super sleeper of bunch.
