Fantasy Baseball 2011: Updated top 50 starting pitcher rankings

May 31, 2011 by Kurt Turner

 

June is here and we've already seen a lot happen from the mound. Justin Verlander and Francisco Liriano each own a no-hitter and rookies Zach Britton and Michael Pineda have dazzled the AL. We've also seen some starters fail to live up to expectations as well as others exceeding anything we thought they do this year. The losses of Adam Wainwright and Stephen Strasburg prior to the start of the season killed most of our spirits, but other hurlers have picked up the slack.

Here is my updated top 50 starting pitchers for fantasy baseball (rankings are based off predictions for the rest of the season, not stats they've already accumulated):

  1. Roy Halladay, PHI

    Weaver is the current No. 1 pitcher on ESPN.com's player rater
  2. Tim Lincecum, SFO
  3. Felix Hernandez, SEA
  4. Jered Weaver, LAA
  5. Jon Lester, BOS
  6. Cliff Lee, PHI
  7. Justin Verlander, DET
  8. Dan Haren, LAA
  9. Clayton kershaw, LAD
  10. CC Sabbathia, NYY
  11. Tommy Hanson, ATL
  12. Cole Hamels, PHI
  13. Josh Johnson, FLA
  14. Yovani Gallardo, MIL
  15. Ubaldo Jimenez, COL
  16. David Price, TB
  17. Shaun Marcum, MIL
  18. Josh Beckett, BOS

    Since the start of May, Hudson's ERA has dropped from 5.30 to 4.13
  19. Zack Greinke, MIL
  20. Trevor Cahill, OAK 
  21. Matt Cain, SFO
  22. Jhoulys Chacin, COL
  23. Roy Oswalt, PHI
  24. Chad Billingsly, LAD
  25. James Sheilds, TB
  26. Daniel Hudson, ARI
  27. Mat Latos, SD
  28. Ricky Nolasco, FLA
  29. Anibal Sanchez, FLA
  30. Jaime Garcia, STL
  31. Max Scherzer, DET
  32. Jonathan Sanchez, SFO
  33. Michael Pineda, SEA
  34. Chris Carpenter, STL
  35. Gio Gonzalez, OAK
  36. Brett Anderson, OAK

    The 23-year old Anderson is 3-4 with a 2.84 ERA and 56 K's in 73 innings

  38. Matt Garza, CHC
  39. Ian Kennedy, ARI

  41. Ricky Romero, TOR
  42. Ted Lilly, LAD
  43. Jeremy Hellickson, TB
  44. Brandon Morrow, TOR
