Starting Pitchers
The note on the relievers entry below also applies to this list. (Both lists contain some pitchers who both started and relieved in the majors last year.)
Serious oops: Somehow Danny Graves, who shouldn't even have been on the starters list, ended up being listed at No. 6! Sorry about that. It was an absolutely inexcusable mistake that is now fixed.

Relievers
Well, that was a bit of a long break -- had a little road trip -- but I think I'm back in time to still be of some use to anyone who's banging around the 'net looking to get a look at as many sets of rankings as they can in order to be fully informed for their fantasy drafts. I haven't made any notes to this list, nor have I separated the list into tiers (same with the SP rankings, which are up next). Instead, I'll post thoughts about various pitchers on both lists over the next couple of days. For the moment remember that Padres relief pitcher Otsuka should be much higher on this list. He's only so far down because he has not yet pitched a real game in the majors. I expect much better things from Otsuka than from the Mets SS, Matsui.
