top 90 starters 2006

[Coppermine]

Maybe some will think I'm overvaluing Prior but he's a better player than Brett Myers.

I account for the fact that Prior WILL be on the DL this year.

Wow you had Tim Hudson really low. I think he's do for a nice rebound year. Not quite what he was back in 01 or 02 but something fairly close to that

If Halladay gets drafted as the 11th starting pitcher in any draft, it's going to be a huge steal for whoever gets him.

[Mugwump]

I like SiverZ's the best.

I'd personally move up Vazquez into the 5th tier, but I'm a Vazquez fan... I think he'll have his innings and K's this year with around 16 wins.

You have John Patterson ranked higher than any other rankings I have seen. I'm hopeing to land him as my 3rd or 4th starter this year.

What made you rank him so high?

[Jenkins]

Carpenter, Schilling, and Capuano are too high.
