The Shuffle Up series rolls along with the starting pitchers. This is how I’d rank and sort the board if heading into a fresh draft today.
Remember, if ever there’s a position where “nobody knows anything,” this is the one.
What’s happened to this point is merely an audition. Assume players at the same salary are considered even. I included courtesy ranks of some injured pitchers at the bottom, but they’re not for debate. Everyone has their own version of injury optimism or pessimism; I’m always going to be extremely careful with injured pitchers.
Have disagreements? That’s good, that’s what the game is predicated on. Catch me on Twitter/X: @scott_pianowski.
And away we go.
