Every Monday during the season, I will be releasing "The List" where I rank the current value of the Top 100 pitchers in fantasy baseball for the rest of the season. Use these rankings to help understand what to expect from pitchers for 2017 and as a tool to gauge trade value in your fantasy leagues.
Let's see how the SP landscape has changed:
Founder of Pitcher List. Creator of CSW, The List, and SP Roundup. Worked with MSG, FanGraphs, CBS Sports, and Washington Post. Former college pitcher, travel coach, pitching coach, and Brandeis alum. Wants every pitcher to be dope.
Which two do you think would make for a good trade for Severino (or someone similar) out of: Taillon, Price, T. Ross, Manaea, Fulmer, Nola, Berrios, Verlander, or Hoffman?
As a Severino owner, I’d probably want Tallion and Berrios, possibly Fulmer. Young studs for a young stud.
So Kenta is back in the bullpen….what a joke
Unreal.
Still no Erod. He’s facing live batters and should have a rehab start soon. He was in your top 40 befre the injury. Thoughts?
I considered sticking him on at the end, but I’m still unsure how soon we’ll actually see E-rod, then there’s the question of how fast we can expect him to get back to the same level he was pitching at prior to injury.
I don’t get the large drop for T. Chatwood. He has had a quality start in 6 of his last 7 starts and 2.65 ERA, and a 1.12 WHIP. What do you see in him that would cause him to drop 27 spaces in your rankings. Please enlighten.
Incredibly good schedule before with plenty of road games.
Has a tough three starts ahead and there’s no reason to hold onto him in the meantime.
In the end, Chatwood really is just a good streamer instead of someone to roster.
Nick:
Thanks for the prompt response. I agree with the streamer comment just didn’t think he would fall so sharply.
Love the website – always good to get another perspective.
Yeah, I raised Chatwood for the week as he had a solid two-start week ahead, and with guys outside the Top 60 it’s all about short term of who to pick up at this very moment and can help.
Now that he did he job, he goes back down.
Always happy to help! Glad you enjoy what we do here.
Nice to see the love for Jimmy Nelson! Keep up the great work, I look forward to these rankings every week.
Thanks! Hard not to be on the Nelson train, especially with his change of approach.
Do you see Alex Wood climbing any further in the rankings or is he capped by his injury risk/innings limit? Looking to add an arm but am concerned about him getting shut down in September and Dave Roberts in general.
Considering he’s already thrown 190 innings in his day and was sidelined for some time already in 2017, I’d be surprised if the Dodgers elected to shut Wood down come September.
Additionally, “injury risk” is a bit out the door at this point since everyone is getting injured and there is no rhyme or reason to it.
Sup Nick! Where does .Edu figure into the list when he comes back? Looks like it’ll be pretty soon.
Whoops, sorry. Just saw your reply above. As you were!
So Jacob Faria moved up a ton. Thoughts on him ROS?
Someone just dropped Jimmy Nelson in my league. Trying to move some pitchers for batters to pick him up, but would you take him straight up over Gio Gonzalez, Pomeranz, or Nola? Intuition says no
I like Nelson over all three. Is there someone else to drop? I’d want to roll with Gio until the bottom drops out.
