I completely disagree.

If any kept SP would be in the draft pool, they'd be a top 5 pick, IMO

+1... just glanced through and none jump out @ me. I know Verlander had a down year (by his standards) last year, but dude could turn it around and win a Cy Young at any time.

There are so many really good SP's in the league right now.


exactly why it isnt essential to keep them unless you have a top 10 guy.
Same can be said with OF and I kept two...

If people reached on starters then how could the other numbers look right, shouldn't they be a little light?

I sold off CC, so I could get Prince. There is good pitching everywhere in the draft. I mean msu traded for Buchholz and still didn't keep him

Without looking at who each team could have kept instead of those guys


ETA: weaver and grienke are also both borderline

We'll see how that theory works out since you kept none... I may just go SP 1st round...

All these guys are in ESPNs top 22 SP rankings.

And 4 of the 6 had k/9 over 9 last year.

That's a great list of pitchers that would all be drafted with the quickness

They are good pitchers. I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying I personally wouldn't keep any pitcher not in the top 5 much less top 20 with the amount of keepers we ate keeping. It very well may bite me in the arse

FWIW I would keep at least 3 of those pitchers over Pence.... But that's just me
