After going through the Top 100 last week (well, really Top 125), I'm now going over every other conceivable starter this year to make sure you guys understand why I didn't elect to have them in the Top 125. Notice that there aren't number rankings at this point they wouldn't really serve a purpose - few should be considered for your fantasy team. The first 15 or so listed here are more desirable and then it's just a grab bag of NOPE. Keep that in mind as we dive in.
Tier 10: The Worst of the Rest
Jeff Hoffman (Colorado Rockies) - I don't want you guys to let his poooooor 2016 let you forget that he had a stellar 9.40 K/9 during his time in AAA. That being said, that walk rate is terrible and it's going to take some time before we see Hoffman come into his own - even with his good GB rates - as he spends time in Colorado.
Brett Anderson (Chicago Cubs) - There actually could be some sneaky value from Anderson as he plays for a winning team and has an incredible defense behind him for a grounder heavy pitcher, I simply can't trust that he'll play enough to give him an actual ranking. Deeper leagues could find some value here if you're willing to look past minimal strikeout production.
Assuming I have a good offense (Top 5) in our 13 team league, can I contend with this rotation next year? How about 2018/19 (Dynasty league)?:
