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.
What do u think of Lucas Sims getting the call tmw? Does he make the list?
I’ve read that his Curveball is solid, but the rest of his arsenal is somewhat mediocre.
I’ll obviously have more to say tomorrow, but my instinct is that he’s not worth it to chase in more leagues.
I believe he is supposed to have a good fastball as well. Pitching for the Braves without Matt Kemp is a pretty big problem though!
Why the continued love for Jose Berrios? He has been especially awful last 5 starts: 5.31 xFIP 7.6% SwStr rate 8.8 K-BB% and a declining ground ball rate. The only positive is that he continues to limit hard contact. He’s in Mike Pelfrey territory last 30…I drafted him so Im hoping youre right but not seeing it right now.
Because I like to believe that he can adjust and not continue pitching like his last five starts suggest. I could easily be wrong there, but he’s showed an ability to bounce back prior and his upside is absolutely tremendous.
Tonight @ SD should tell a tale. If he pitches poorly in this spot as well, I dont see any reason to throw him going forward.
Not exactly what i was looking for. 8% SwStr 23.5% GB rate 35.3% Hard hit rate .118 BABIP. Wouldnt feel comfortable throwing him at this point.
How far is Ian Kennedy outside the list? I think there’s enough to squeeze him in somewhere.
Not even kidding, he was on and off it multiple times as I was creating it this week. Think of him as 101. Blame Miranda getting 10 Ks.
Seems you’re very low on Kyle Hendricks. Would you drop him for German Marquez?
Yep! With Marquez showing his upside with flying colors and Hendricks being a mediocre play that can be replaced on most wires, I’d rather chase the upside in Marquez.
Hendricks’ upside is borderline Cy Young. Gna be hard for German to top that.
And so is Rick Porcello’s if you want to make that argument.
assuming Reynaldo Lopez and Brent Honeywell are up today (and both starting) where do they immediately land on the list?
im on pace to go over IP limit and i want to stash one of them? who has the higher upside?
I’d go Lopez since Honeywell is on a stricter innings limit.
They would be both be around the mid 50s. Probably right ahead of Matz.
Drop Porcello for Reynaldo Lopez?
Rest of Rotation:
MadBum, R Hill, Duffy, Quintana, Salazar, Price, Castillo.
I’m cool with that.
Would you advise giving up Cutch for Carrasco or should I not cut loose on such a hot Mccutchen right now? Thanks Nick
Godley is not that good. I’d take any of those guys in the top 30 over him. I’m sorry but that is an outrageous ranking in my opinion
May I ask what you don’t like about Godley?
