Scott Baker

Travis Wood

Jeff Niemann

Kyle Drabek

Jason Hammel

Brian Duensing

Homer Bailey

Clayton Richard

How would you rank these pitchers?

Probably

Baker

Jarr

Clayton

Wouldn't have on my team the rest.

I'm really surprised that Baker is on waivers in a league that uses K/BB.

Really like Travis Wood with K/BB as a category. Baker probably my 2nd choice.

I had Baker #1 as well. I was equally shocked, but thought maybe I was missing something.FWIW, I have them ranked:BakerWoodHammelJurrjensClaytonBaileyDrabek

I like Wood's ERA, WHIP, and Ks. I don't think his K/BB ratio is as good as Baker's nor his W potential.Why do you like him for that category?

Wood may not be as good as Baker in K/BB but his 86/26 last year was still pretty solid. Also had 99/24 in AAA last year.Point is, having K/BB increases his value over what it would be in a standard 5x5. It does the same for Baker, but I like Wood better to begin with.

True.I drafted Lackey. His peripherals aren't great, but he should get a good number of wins. I've been toying with the idea of dropping him for Wood, Hammel, or Jurrjens.
