2010 Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Final Rankings: Top 50

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, since 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 his lack of 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.
