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 |
