Rank These SPs

[Trojan Pony]

Please re-rank the pitchers listed below in terms of their worthiness for a late round flier in a fairly deep keeper league. Basically, who do you think has the potential to emerge as a legit 3rd or 4th starter? Who's a serviceable 5/6 guy? Who's waiver wire fodder and not worth drafting? Feel free to add anyone who you think falls in this group that I haven't included.

Ian Snell
Todd Wellemeyer
Koji Uehara
John Lannan
Kelvim Escobar
Sean Gallagher
Dave Bush
Trevor Cahill
Tommy Hanson
David Purcey
Andrew Miller
Nick Blackburn
Anthony Reyes

[Syfo-Dyas]

Escobar
Cahill
Hanson

they could be 3 or 4. I dont want any other on my team from that list.
But Reyes and Blackburn could be serviceble.

[Snakes Gould]

Kelvim Escobar


Trevor Cahill
Tommy Hanson
David Purcey

[Trojan Pony]

bump.

[Guaranteed Loser]

Escobar
Hanson
Cahill

I think Miller puts it together in the 2nd half, so might be worth a flier in H2H to help you make a playoff run.

Reyes and Lannan I might pick up to spot start, but would not draft them.

[Trojan Pony]

OK, real life FA situation here... Pick up Reyes, Uehara, or Miller?

The league has a 50 acquisitions limit on the season, so long-term value should be considered.

I'm leaning towards Reyes since Uehara will probably get beat up in the AL East and Miller is a little raw at this point. That makes sense, no?

Reyes
Uehara
Miller

That's the order I would go. Tell me if you disagree.

[Trojan Pony]

Tim Wakefield, Barry Zito, Edwin Jackson, Kevin Millwood, Rick Porcello, Dana Eveland, and Bartolo Colon are also available, for whatever they're worth.

[Guaranteed Loser]

You said this was a keeper league, and if that is the case, you need to pick up Porcello right now. (assuming your league settings are such that you would be keeping him)

Of the 3 you are asking about, Uehara really doesn't enter into the discussion, I don't care how deep your league is, so it comes down to Reyes and Miller. I would go with Reyes now, and drop him for Miller later if Miller starts to show signs of life (had his first decent outing of the spring today)

[Trojan Pony]

It's a keeper league, but only five players taken after the fourth round. It's highly unlikely Porcello would wind up being one of my keepers unless he has a stellar rookie campaign. Would you still pick him up anyway?

[Trojan Pony]

Also, it should be noted that I already have David Price, Gallagher, Purcey, and Cahill on this team, LOL. So I'm actually more in need of a serviceable WYSIWYG 5th/6th starter kinda guy (the Moyers and Bushes of the world) than I am for a high upside flier. Would you roster Porcello over one of those young guns I named?
