- Justin Verlander - The only pitcher in either league that could be considered(not by me but others) in RD 1
- David Price - Reigning Cy Young winner is like buttered toast. Mmmmm Toast
- Felix Hernandez - Recent elbow news aren't encouraging, could slip in drafts due to it. I would still pounce in RD 3.
- Jered Weaver - If he K'd more he would be a higher fantasy asset, as he sits he is still pretty valuable with his nice and pretty ratios.
- Yu Darvish - His sophomore season will be a more dominant one with a few more wins sprinkled in. 225+ K's
- C.C. Sabathia - Still a hoss. Regardless of what ADP says. Top pitcher for a team that wins 90, 18 wins and 200K's easy peasy lemon squeezy.
- Chris Sale - The inning jump is not a concern for me, his delivery also not a problem for me. I love this kid period send to editor.
- R.A. Dickey - Switch of league is going to hurt his K numbers by a good 10% 16 wins and 190 K's is my prediction.
- Max Scherzer - I think I am probably too low on him after I think what he can really do. Is a K machine who is just starting to learn how to pitch and be a winner
- James Shields - Traded to KC. If he stayed in TB he would be maybe one spot higher for me, so if you're keeping track that's not much.
- Matt Moore - Third best Lefty in the AL. Kid is going to be special if he isn't already. Will be neck and neck with Darvish and Scherzer for the K title IMO.
- Brandon Morrow - If he was healthy more often the kid has unhittable stuff. Unfortunately we haven't seen it yet. Good for 160 innings of stellar, save a DL spot tough.
- Jake Peavy - A rejuvenated Jake shined through last year. Lots of wear on the arm though which makes me shiver. Let someone else draft him.
- Josh Johnson - This is the injury worrisome part of the rankings, guys that show it but have that injury hiccup. New team will help his wins, AL will hurt everything else.
- Doug Fister - Everybody do the Dougie, ok I will do it for you since I am more coordinated. A great number 3 starter regardless of league.
- Hiroki Kuroda - Consistency wins a lot of the time. 3/1 K/BB never hurts either.
- Jon Lester - No way he is done, will bounce back and at a great draft day value.
- C.J. Wilson - He doesn't do anything overwhelming, but team is going to win some games if you have been living in a cave.
- Brett Anderson - I love the A's pitchers, why not. The park aided factors are pretty glaring.
- Phil Hughes - If he played at the little league field with no fences and no automatic HR's he would be king. Damn you and your walls.
- Jarrod Parker - Second A in top 25, I told ya.
- Jeremy Hellickson - Is basically the RH version of C.J. Wilson
- Anibal Sanchez - Couldn't find his stride last year, had a few great starts surrounded by mediocrity.
- Ryan Dempster - Pitched great in the NL last year prior to trade, posted ugly ERA over 5 in Texas. The AL does that sometimes.
- Matt Harrison - Won a surprising 18 wins last year, don't expect that total nor the K's but should be in the teens for wins.
- Andy Pettitte - I don't care how old you are, if you put up great ratios it leads to success.
- Tommy Hanson - I really hope his shoulder doesn't fall off. He is in that weird transition of being in between a K pitcher and a control pitcher.
- Tommy Milone - Third A in the top 30, is it getting repetitious?
- Hisashi Iwakuma - One of my top sleepers this year. He pitched phenominally down the stretch last year, look for it to continue. Sneaky 14 wins with surprising ratios.
- Jason Vargas - Another of my sleeper type guys. Pitches just well enough to lose, well that was in Seattle. Now has an offense and cozy 4th starter match-ups.
- Alex Cobb - The last of my first round of sleeper type guys. Like Iwakuma pitched graet down the stretch.
- Jason Hammel - If your looking for K's this isn't it. Chasing wins and a repeat of non-colorado numbers is what you're hoping for
- Justin Masterson - Random piece of trivia for ya, only MLB player to be born in Jamaica. Weird but true.
- Ricky Romero - I am really glad LL took time off from CSI to pitch. Needs to figure out how to stop being a WHIP disaster.
- Derek Holland - Too many taters. Is the LH version of Phil Hughes, with less win capability.
- Mark Buerhle - Wily veteran is a innings gobbler, at least he will pitch every fifth day great for win chasing, but not much K potential.
- Vance Worley - My second round of sleepers. Moves from a fly ball park to a pitchers park. I don't like that he is the ace of this staff and that may hurt him with match-ups.
- Wei-Yin Chen - Solid 4th starter. Will give you meduim wins and K's. Which is what you want.
- Clay Buchholz - I see a bounce back here for Clay, a return to a mid 3 ERA type guy late in drafts for a 85 plus win team late in drafts sounds tasty.
- Ubaldo Jimenez - Would it be so far fetched if he K'd 175? He will also destroy your ratios but I still think he may be better then we saw last year.
- Alexei Ogando - Was mired in the pen after returning from TJ. Arm strength and sleeper appeal are there. Will be missed a lot in drafts because he didn't accumulate stats, don't sleep on him.
- Chris Tillman - Pitched crazy sexy down the stretch last year. Not sure if it was over his head or a post hype type guy. Either way me likey.
- Scott Diamond - The last of second round of sleepers. Go look at his stats, minus the K's, tell me where he was awful or hurt your team....I'll wait.
- A.J. Griffin - Soft tosser with nice success last year. Great control and a nice start for the 5th starter in your AL-Only rotation.
- Bud Norris - I would love him to get traded to a team that isn't going to suck. For skimming he is the only Astro listed.
- Felix Doubront - Great K sleeper, needs to keep the walks under control to be an effective roster stalwart.
- Miguel Gonzalez - Pitched way over his head and n the playoffs. Showalter knows how to get the most out of his starters. Good for 10 wins and some sneaky good ratios.
- Brett Myers - Started then relieved, Then Started and then relieved. Now he is a starter again. Career ERA as a starter is a run higher then as a relief picther.
- Joe Saunders - I like the signing by Seattle as he just eats up innings and will be aided by ballpark effects. Expect Jason Vargas lite numbers.
- Gavin Floyd - From here down its roster fodder and can be listed in any order you choose. Most of these guys will be your 6-7th starter in AL formats. Which usually equates to streaming or just adding a dominant reliever.
