lol theres no way Madison Bumgarner is only the 9th best pitch in baseball. This list sucks...

Chris Sale over Andrew McCutchen? Kershaw over Mike Trout? Wade Davis a spot ahead of Greg Holland?

Davis should be over Holland, possibly way higher. Sale over McCutchen is debatable but no real beef and same with Kershaw over Trout. Brantley and Harper over Bumgarner was just dumbfounding. I was absolutely flabbergasted and I like both of those players but to put one good season from Brantley over Bum and to place Harper above Bum based off what he can be is just crazy. Bum and Price both should've been top 20

So I guess Timmy has been lookin' pretty good thus far, per Casey McGehee he has that deception that he used to have and he said he was uncomfortable facing him.

Tim is working back with his dad again so hopefully that helps but looking good so far, for what that is worth.

If Wade Davis should be "Way higher" than Holland, he would be the closer.

Andrew McCutchen is a 5 tool MVP CF. Hes finished in the top 3 in MVP voting 3 years straight. Sale is a great pitcher, but hes not even on the same level of value.

Same argument for Trout, who is by far and away the best baseball player on the planet right now. Not a single GM would take Kershaw over Trout.

I also take issue with Paul Goldschmidt being so low. He should be ahead of Bautista for sure. Jose Abreu should have to prove he can adapt to the adjustments the league will make against him before he gets to be ranked in the top 10 imo.
