Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 01:50 PM) Alexei over all of our starting pitchers? Wow. Not that surprising. SS is a pretty scarce position from a fantasy standpoint. Therefore making him more valuable than he really is on the field. If he can get back to his '08 level (avoiding the slow starts that's plagued him the last two years would be nice), he's probably a top 5-7 fantasy SS.

Rarer than a guy like Jake Peavy who is going to get you wins, complete games, IP, SHO, K's and the like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not make up stats even for guys we like: Peavy has completed 1 game since 2006 and 7 in his career, with only 3 shutouts (all in 2005). He tends to throw a lot of pitches and is often therefore gone after 6-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't think that, and I don't think that because the available data shows that he's thrown a reasonable number of pitches in those innings. Subtitled; God I love B-R.com. IP/GS 2002 5.7 2003 6.1 2004 6.2 2005 6.8 2006 6.3 2007 6.6 2008 6.4 2009 6.4 Pit/GS 2002 96 2003 101 2004 99 2005 105 2006 105 2007 106 2008 106 2009 98 He's still throwing 100+ pitches in an average game prior to 2009, but only had a handful of CG's. Now here's # of starts with a certain number of pitches. 120 Max 2002 1 10 6 0 115 2003 2 11 17 2 126 2004 1 13 11 2 124 2005 0 11 18 1 124 2006 2 8 21 1 129 2007 0 5 29 0 118 2008 1 5 19 2 127 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete games, IP and SHO are rarely ever used in fantasy baseball. It's usually wins, ERA, K's, Saves and WHIP. SP is MUCH deeper from a fantasy standpoint than SS. Just think about it. After Hanley, TT, Reyes, Rollins and Jeter (the last two being overrated from a fantasy perspective), it's slim pickings at that particular position.
