Rank the big arm mid-rounders: Liriano, Scherzer, etc - WHIR

Postby Bea Arthur » Fri Mar 26, 2010 9:44 am

How do they think these potential 200 K guys stack up against each other in a deep, 20 team H2H league? In what order would you draft them in the mid-rounds?

Scherzer
Liriano

De La Rosa
Santana
Price
Matusz

I'm not sold on my ordering on the last few guys, it could break either way. I think Santana is worth a middle to late round pick in a 20 teamer on the upside, his velocity is up; I'm not so high on Price, I think his name goes further than his numbers this year.

Help me out if you get a sec,

De La Rosa
E. Santana
Liriano
Price
Scherzer
Matusz

Liriano is rough to rank, but for Ks I have those top 3 guys pretty close together anyway. That said I might reach for Liriano over De La Rosa and Santana if I were feeling saucy. Price isn't really a huge K guy either, but I do have him ranked above Scherzer and Matusz overall.

Yeah, I like De La Rosa a lot this year too, although it would be tempting not to nab Liriano ahead of him, especially the way he's looked this spring...and at this point, worst case scenario for Liriano seems to be getting "demoted" to closer, which wouldn't be a bad scenario fantasy-wise either.

The more solid my pitching staff is to start off with the more like I am to reach for Liriano over DLR. I'll freely admit to having a bit of a mancrush on for Liriano this pre-season though. ;-D I don't think he'll be anything but a starter though (as recent quote from the manager support, although I don't have a link).

De La Rosa
Liriano
Santana
Matusz
Price

I think Price is a little unrated this year, but I don't think he will approach 200Ks
