DobberBaseball's Top 100 Starting Pitchers for May...

 

 

The rating assigned to each player represents his value in a keeper league.

 

The list of starters takes the following stat categories into consideration: Wins, Quality Starts, Strikeouts, ERA and WHIP. Though Wins are included in most standard leagues in lieu of Quality Starts, I prefer to use the latter as they are more indicative of a pitcher's skill. That being said, the traditional four - Wins, Ks, ERA and WHIP - are all weighted equally, with Quality Starts getting a smaller slice o' the pie. The following criteria were also factored into each pitcher's rating: Age, Upside, Injury Risk, Rotation Spot Security and Development Status.

 Samardzija, Harrison, and Lynn
Hey guys, sorry for the long delay in response. Lance Lynn, Matt Harrison, and Jeff Samardzija have all been added to the top 100 list and will be rotated accordingly for the rest of the season. Keep the comments coming, everyone!

Where is Harrison? If lannan and harangue can make this list someone must really dislike the opening day starter.

No Lance Lynn? I understand that this was written at the end of August when Lynn experienced some difficulties, but given the fact that he has not pitched the innings of a full major league season could indicate that he was tiring out. I understand that I have the benefit of hindsight, but after the Cardinals gave him a short rest, he seemed to come back strong. Even if today was 23 AUG 12, Lynn should be a top 50 guy for next year -- don't you agree?
