PrintYesterday, 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.
| Pitcher | TM | 2009 Age | IP | K | ERA | WHIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Johan Santana | NYM | 30 | 196 | 169 | 2.71 | 1.15 |
| 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!
