The time has come for the pitchers to get their own v2.0 rankings and after messing around with the expected autograph prices we are ready to roll with top 100 buy ratings. You’ll notice a difference in the split between buys and sells with the pitchers compared to the hitters. On the hitters version there were plenty of 2.0/5.0 ratings that I would consider a sell but hitting prospects are way more likely to get overhyped than pitchers. Since pitchers still don’t get the same type of love it’s much harder for a pitcher to be priced more than 100% higher than I’d put their value at. The good news is that since they are more likely to be undervalued the buying opportunities are even better, and the list of buys is quite a bit longer.
The portion of the new rankings that adjusts scores based on recent performances is only set for last seven days right now as it is with hitters just so we have a benchmark for updates going forward. That means if a guy looks down from my last rankings it could just be one bad start (i.e. Kash Mayfield). From here on out for both hitters and pitchers the updates will have 7-day, 14-day, and 30-day bonuses to really reward the prospects who are not only having success but sustaining it. Here are today’s top 100 pitchers.
Buy Ratings
5.0 = Strongest Buy (price should be at least 100% higher)
4.5 - 4.9 = Strong Buy
4.0 - 4.4 = Buy
3.5 - 3.9 = Hold (lean towards buying)
3.0 - 3.4 = Hold
2.5 - 2.9 = Hold (lean towards selling)
2.1 - 2.4 = Consider selling
2.0 = Sell
