Thank you. I think there will always be a few players that someone will want to dispute, but that is part of what makes fantasy baseball so fun. Much of the off-season juice would be gone if we were all of the same opinion.

Hmm well if thats the case......
Harden above both Mulder and Hudson surprises me quite abit. Harden will get more K's than the other two, but I'm not sold on his control enough that he will have a better ERA or WHIP (or close enough to make the K's outweigh the difference). I don't have the other two a tremendous amount ahead of Harden, but that was the first thing that jumped out at me with your list.

Looks pretty good of course there are some I dont agree with. 2 Pitchers that stand out to me here:
Jake Westbrook: I dont understand how Jeff Francis can be higher than him. Westbrook was solid this past year, I dont see how he can be so low.
Odalis Perez: Too low. He doesnt get wins, but posts solid Ratios. There is no way that Im taking Millwood over him.

Agreed on Perez, although it depends somewhat on where is signs. I also am not that sanguine on Robertson (got lit up the second half) or Willis, but that just goes to show that after the first 15 or so SPs the next 20-25 have strong upsides but also some risk factors, so it bascially comes down to the personal intuition of how you weigh the risk and the upside to come up with final rankings.

Santana #1? hmmmm.... let's see... let me check my rankings, my stats.....yeah, that's about right!
Prior and Schmidt over the Unit? I don't know about that one. His numbers last year were insane. Plus, he's likely to end up on a much better team which should almost guarantee him more wins.
