Your top SP's for next season

[thetongueofire]

i agree on Pavano. even if he stays in the NL. apart from a low babip which i believe to be due to luck/good D, the main thing that kept his era down was the low HR/9 which will go up outside Pro player, especially in the AL.

K/9 BB/9 HR/9 BABIP ERA
02-03 6.0 2.5 1.0 .303 4.65
y2004 5.6 2.0 .65 .283 3.00

If Pavano is able to get back together with Alyssa Milano then I think he could break into my top 10 fantasy starters.

my question would be, where do you start to draft these guys. would you jump on any in the mid 2nd round, or wait to see which would be available mid 3rd? how long do you wait to get your ace?

I, for the first time, drafted a pitcher in the second round last year, and I won't do it again. Too much risk.

As did I, and Prior screwed me.

I agree about the round to take them. I can't think of too many I would want to take in the first round or even second really. Santana is probably the only one, and I wouldn't want to take him that high. On a side note, is anyone as hesitant about Santana as I am? I mean the guy had a great season no doubt, but there's no way he's this good is he?

I cant think of anything to knock him down a peg other than last years second half is all but impossible to top. He is an elite pitcher. I dont take pitchers before the 2nd round anymore, but if I were to break he would probably be the one I went for.

Santana is a mid/late 2nd rounder next year in my book. Though I would imagine he'll be drafted by that time.

I would maybe take him in the second round, but I can't see any way that he will be there that late.

i'm very surprised to see that no one has mentioned clemens in this thread yet.last i checked,he's not retired and is coming back for another year in houston.i have him ranked as the #10 SP right now for next year.

yes pavano has fallen off my top 10 charts due to the loss of milano but zito has moved to #10 due to being seen with Ms. Milano quite a bit the last couple of weeks......
