2009 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Starting Pitchers

Yesterday, I did a quick Top 10 for the 2009 fantasy baseball season. At #9 and #10 was Carlos Quentin and Ian kinsler. Those spots could have been easily occupied by Ryan Braun and Josh Hamilton. Or by a starting pitcher.

My question is which one. Do you take a veteran ace like Johan Santana? Or a new veteran ace like C.C. Sabathia? Or an fresh ace like Tim Lincecum.

Here are the three pitchers relevent fantasy stats.

C.C. Sabathia TBD 29 210.1 208 2.82 1.13
Tim Lincecum SF 25 190.1 216 2.60 1.19

C.C.

At this point, Santana’s drop in Ks concerns me at least as a 1st round pick. Overall, I’d likely skip starting pitching until the third round, minimum.

Santana

has proven longevity on consistency, plus I see the Mets retooling bigtime next year after the past two season’s which should give him more wins….

Also, CC and Lincecum have pitched so many innings this year I wouldn’t be suprised if their arms fall off!
