Top 80 Starting Pitchers Broken into Quartiles

[Honus]

I know that because there are so many of them (and because they can get injured/lucky/unlucky), people have different rankings for starting pitchers. So, I am not looking for "Who do you have #7 vs. #8?" Instead, I have broken 80 of the top pitchers into 4 quartiles and I'd just like to confirm or deny whether I have each of these pitchers at least in the right "tier." This is for a 12 team standard 5x5 roto league. Do you think any of these guys should be moved to a different quartile? If so, who and where should they be moved to? Have I left any good pitchers out? Thanks for offering your opinion!

[atlbraves11]

id move radke up to probably the 3rd group

[atlbraves11]

actually id move him up to the second group

[djack909]

kasmir will not be big this year one more year for him .Move pavano down and radke and padilla up. Vincente had a good caribean league season. This the best ranking of pitchers i've seen this year. Congrats. Good job

[wkelly91]

I would move:

J.Wright & Davis up to #3

Burnett & Mussina down to #2

Grienke, Kazmir & Willis down to #3

Lee down to #4

Otherwise good list

No: Lowry, Madritch, Westbrook, Tomko, Washburn.....

SOTD did this in the past already .... and did a darn good job of it too.

Bonderman and Freddy should definately NOT be in the very good quartile, while Thomson and Webb should be. Horacio Ramirez should not be in any quartile. That's all that stuck out to me. I'd also take Blanton or Bush over a bunch of the guys in the last quartile.

why only 80? Thats not even enough for an 8 team league, let alone 12 or 14. But they look OK as they are.

Was that sarcasm? If not, how many SP's do you usually carry on your team? 12? 80 is almost 7 per team in a 12 team league.

I would say move down smoltz and wood one tier and move up harden.
