2010 Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Rankings: The Early 100

January 5, 2010 by Kurt Turner

Top 100 Early Pitching Rankings.

1. Tim Lincecum – This kid just keeps throwing heat each and every year, and there is nothing but upside for him in 2010. Draft high if you’re thinking pitcher first.
2. Cliff Lee – Seattle is a bit more hitter friendly than Philly, but Lee has his best years still ahead of him and one of the best closers in the business in Aardsma.
3. Zach Greinke - Greinke silenced the critics last year, and this year should be a breakout season for the young ace. Greinke was a first rounder last year, and should be one this year.
4. Roy Halladay -  Well it finally happened, Philly got their man and you can be sure that Halladay will settle in very quickly as the Phillies will afford him an increase in environmental stability.
5. Josh Beckett – Beckett just doesn’t quit and his ability to mow down hitter after hitter seems to get better with time. If you are lucky enough to get Beckett and Lester you’ll have one stacked team.
6. Felix Hernandez – This guy is just scary good. A blazing fastball, and an arm that won’t quit.
7. Johan Santana – Santana didn’t quite live up to his expectations last year, but he is still an elite pitcher. If the aforementioned are no longer on the board pick Santana up immediately.
8. Kevin Slowey – Slowey was cruising along with a 10-3 record and a 7 to 1 SO to BB ratio average before he tried to play through a nasty wrist injury. I feel bad putting him this low on the list.
9. C.C. Sabathia – Sabathia has power and dominance that can’t be ignored, his only knock is hi endurance.
10. Roy Oswalt - Oswalt will undoubtedly go into the HOF one day, and there is no reason to shy away from his innate ability to throw strikes. He could be on the boards later.
