Eno’s Pitcher Ranks, Updated

It’s been a bit more than a month, so it’s time to update my rankings, maybe in time for your last draft. Mostly injuries have moved the needle, but a few spring training strikeout rates and pitch changes may have factored into the moves. I gave you the new NFBC ADP and my old rankings so you could see the movements in the rankings.

Enjoy!

With a phone full of pictures of pitchers' fingers, strange beers, and his two toddler sons, Eno Sarris can be found at the ballpark or a brewery most days. Read him here, writing about the A's or Giants at The Athletic, or about beer at October. Follow him on Twitter @enosarris if you can handle the sandwiches and inanity.

I actually like him but inconsistent command and lack of pedigree or track record has him there.

Thoughts on my list? 16 team H2H Greinke, Lynn, Cashner, Hutchison, Bailey, Hahn and Sabathia? Went for an Ace and then a bunch mid to late in the draft.

No love for Brandon Morrow?

We have spring training data on him which is nice!
Fastball is sitting 95mph getting above average whiffs and grounders.
His slider is above average by whiffs and grounders and is sitting 88mph this spring. And the splitter is a quality pitch as well. Everything looks good to me as velo and shape are career norms. And we has just looked pretty good

Now I know he has been an injury mess: But one was a nerve problem that has been fixed and the other was finger issue. It seems there is a chance he can provide 100IP of good ratios in that park and a good source of strikeouts. Make we could live in the Brett Anderson area?

Volquez is in the AL. But probably still terrible. Thanks for the list!

After all the love for McAllister this week I went ahead and grabbed him. Now I have til Sunday to decide between him and Hahn in a QS league for my final SP in a deeeeeep league.

Why is Iwakuma ranked so low (compared to the rotograph staff rankings)? Any big potential concerns?

Matthew

He’s had pretty big shoulder problems in the past and is old. Not a good combo.

Ryu at #29 seems odd given his status…you that confident he’s alright?

Chris

Are we confidant with Hutchison all the way up there, given the division he plays in and he still is primarily a two pitch pitcher (his change is pretty bad.)

Sam

First of all, you’re amazing. Secondly, I’m confused. You said that Graveman is in the new list, but he’s not on the above lost. Am I missing a list? Is there a newer one? Also know you like T.J. House and he seems ranked pretty low. Thanks!

fyi, some of the NA guys for NFBC ADP are listed under RP. For example, Carlos Martinez is picked #285 on average
