of course SP is going to be deep this year..

I'd say The King is #1

but with their high IP and low whips with very low HR allowed....Wainwright and Jimenez will be very strong as well..others too

there is also a IP factor.....must have 190+IP and 32 starts

I believe Glavine a few years back was an example of this

I do think 33 starts is an sutomatic *

Im sure someone here can clarify

anyone want to share a good site for fielding stats?

one that makes sense

This has the basics. Zone Rating, Range Factor, Fielding %.....

thats what I was on last night...

honestly...with all those stats I still dont get a clear Strat translatable pic of whose is the best

Trying to translate fielding stats into a Strat range rating is like reading tea leaves to me. I just look at this years card and assume the range for most players will be the same for next year.

Ok, glad you said that, I thought I was the only one that can't make that translation. "Tea leaves" is the nicer expression for my description. :?

tea leaves...yeah...I have the image of a an island lady throwing bones in a circle of dirt

Same here...I just look for someone who is consistently at the top of each category. I know you can determine the e-rating by pro-rating their errors to 1500 innings. Ex: 5 errors in 500 innings = e15

Gonzalez and Hernandez were the two guys I was hoping would fall to me. Shortstop looks like a weak position so I couldn't pass on Tulo even with the injury.
