Cost-Considered Ranks: Starting Pitcher
Examining the top 300 in ADP and ranking SPs based on how much I like their 2025 cost
Other Links
I have finished the team and position previews all before a single spring game is even played. I’m way ahead of schedule, so it’s time to cook up some new stuff!
The reason I’ve had success in this space is that I know what people like. I know what I used to like. I know the links I used to click with excitement back when I was on the other side of it. And I think this is one that people are really going to like.
It’s almost enough to just do any form of RANKED LIST. A ranked list involving sports gets most of you middle-aged men ready to run through a wall all by itself. But these particular ranked lists will also bring in the angle of DRAFT VALUE. My player ranks are nice, for sure, but they perfectly reflect the players I like and dislike the most. This list will do that.
Before we go into it, you should remember a couple of things.
I’m focusing on standard fantasy leagues (where there are around 300 players rostered with waivers and at least a couple of IL spots).
I’m wrong a lot. You need to remember the guys I get right and quickly forget about the guys I get wrong.
Every player has his price. Sean Manaea will not show up highly on this list. That does not mean that I wouldn’t take him if he falls 3-4 rounds past his ADP. Cost is king!
I’ll still try to tier things and add commentary when I feel it’s needed. I’m not going to comment on all of the names, as I’ve already done that (twice) in the team previews and in the starting pitcher position previews.
This content is to the level of sickness that I have to drop the paywall right away. I can’t give you anything for free at all. So, I hope that’s an effective tease!
