2009 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Starting Pitchers

by faketeams on Sep 5, 2008 11:16 AM EDT in Baseball Comment 3 comments

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.

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.
