Looking to rank Starting Pitchers for next year....

[stumpak]

I also can't believe that Halladay went so late. Arguably the best pitcher in baseball and he is #10? Remember that his injury was a 100% freak thing and that there is zero reason not to project his 2005 stats over a full season for 2006.

Not a long list, but it should still help

Got an opening in our money league.

its way to early to be ranking anything ... honestly

my draft is in 2 weeks

wow that tuff ..

you don't even know where some of these guys are going to be playing and you have to draft allready

Agreed. Drafting this early is not the surest of bets.

As to cheat sheets, the Cafe' will have our own set again this year, but it will hold off for awhile that way it's as accurate as possible. Just way too early for real cheat sheets at the moment.

[Music2004Man]

I'm already looking forward to the Cafe Cheat Sheets. I think that the Cafe sheets are really good because they get a lot of different people involved in the evaluation process. That way you can't have one person screw up the rankings with an off the wall list. They would be nice to have now but everything changes so much during the offseason that they are infinitely more accurate when they come out later in the offseason.

So other than OhMrScottyTrav06, all of yall are saying i'm SOL....Is there anybody else that has recently drafted a team and would be willing to let me see their draft results?

[nsulham]

Sorry dude but I don't know of ANY leagues that would be risky enough to hold a draft already. Just WAY too many invariables to do a draft this early.

My best advice would be to look at your end of season player stats under your league format and go from there.

Thanks.

Sorry if my last posted sounded hostile.....

[RAmst23]

If you're drafting really soon, it's probably best to ignore the post-season performances of some pitchers. If Contreras ends up winning 2 more games this post-season with an ERA of about 2, than ignore him. Probably will be overdrafted because his recent performance will affect his draft placement.

Also, just use your judgement, and not wanting to insult MrScotty's league (too much), but that doesn't seem like a very accurate ranking of SPs. Hernandez is way too inexperienced to be 6th overall, and no Schilling? I realize he was hurt this year, but Matt Cain was also taken as #17. Also suprised that John Smoltz wasn't in this list.

[Red Stripe]

Ya, no offense to ScottyTrav, but that draft must've sucked. Johan not the top pitcher? Duke and Cain on the list? Felix at 6? Sheets and Harden at 12-13?
