FANTASY BASEBALL 2012: STARTING PITCHER RANKINGS

FANTASY BASEBALL 2012: STARTING PITCHER RANKINGS

By Muntradamus

For more rankings and notes around Spring Training, read the DRAFT GUIDE.

*If you did not catch the HITTER STRATEGY, check it out.

Strategy: There are about 12 Elite guys where you already know you are going to get a great season.  Then 13-24 you have guys who should be solid, and if they do not then you had him in a down season.  25-33 you have guys that can break into an upper tier, or pitchers that just regress.  Then 34-60 you throw a dart and hope for the best.  You can draft multiple pitchers in the 34-60 range and be very lucky.  Just make sure to be ready to play the waiver wire if one of your guys is not cutting it.  I personally will wait on pitching unless I see guys I really like.  Below are the guys I will target in my draft.
