Fantasy Baseball: NL Sub-3.50 ERA Leaderboard

When entering a draft, everyone wants that stud starting pitcher who will not only get them double digit wins, but also a solid ERA and WHIP and a mess of strikeouts. Today I look at the NL leaders in ERA, focusing on the starting pitchers who gave you a sub-3.50 ERA. What you will notice is these pitchers also gave you solid WHIP figures.

Let's take a look after the jump:


Star-divide

         Player   INN    GS    QS    CG     W      L      K    BB   ERA  WHIP    K/BB
Carpenter, Chris SP STL  193 28 22 3 17 4 144 38 2.24 1.01 3.789
Lincecum, Tim SP SF  225 32 26 4 15 7 261 68 2.48 1.05 3.838
Jurrjens, Jair SP ATL  215 34 25 0 14 10 152 75 2.60 1.21 2.027
Wainwright, Adam SP STL  233 34 25 1 19 8 212 66 2.63 1.21 3.212
Kershaw, Clayton SP LA  171 30 16 0 8 8 185 91 2.79 1.23 2.033
Vazquez, Javier SP ATL  219 32 22 3 15 10 238 44 2.87 1.03 5.409
Cain, Matt SP SF  218 33 20 4 14 8 171 73 2.89 1.18 2.342
Hanson, Tommy SP ATL  128 21 12 0 11 4 116 46 2.89 1.18 2.522
Happ, J.A. SP PHI  166 23 14 3 12 4 119 56 2.93 1.23 2.125
Rodriguez, Wandy SP HOU  206 33 23 1 14 12 193 63 3.02 1.24 3.063
Santana, Johan SP NYM  167 25 17 0 13 9 146 46 3.13 1.21 3.174
Haren, Dan SP ARI  229 33 24 3 14 10 223 38 3.14 1.00 5.868
Lee, Cliff SP PHI  232 34 24 6 14 13 181 43 3.22 1.24 4.209
Wolf, Randy SP LA  214 34 24 0 11 7 160 58 3.23 1.10 2.759
Johnson, Josh SP FLA  209 33 23 2 15 5 191 58 3.23 1.16 3.293
Jimenez, Ubaldo SP COL  218 33 24 1 15 12 198 85 3.47 1.23 2.329
Pineiro, Joel SP STL  214 32 21 3 15 12 105 27 3.49 1.14 3.889

A handful of these guys were probably not on many drafters radar at their 2009 drafts including Clayton Kershaw, J.A. Happ, Randy Wolf, and Joel Pineiro, but they all gave you solid performance throughout the year. Everybody on this list, with the exception of Kershaw, gave you double digit wins as well. Take out Wolf, Tommy Hanson and J.A. Happ, and they all gave you 13 wins or more.

All except Pineiro, Happ and Carpenter gave you sold strikeout totals for those in 5x5 leagues. Hanson gave you 116 K's in 128 innings, so he could breach the 200 K level in 2010 if he can make 30 starts.

I am curious of Johan Santana is a top 5 starting pitcher in NL leagues in 2010?
