The astute of you will note that the numbers I’ll bounce around here are very slightly different from those I put forward at the end of last year. Part of that is that I’ve fixed a small issue with ballpark runs, and another part is that there’s some weirdness in the cutoff I use for day-to-day flow. But we’re talking minutia that will probably go away as I finish up.
Bottom line: I think I’ll be able to do this easily going forward.
But before I do that, I thought it would be fun to spend some time stepping through the progression of the ranks from the start of last year and see what we can see. So, over the next day or three I’m going to do just that. Start posting the ranks of SP each month as 2057 played out. Once that’s done, I’ll post similar waypoint through 2058 until I’m caught up.
So… there we are.
With that introduction, let me start by posting the top 100 pitchers in the league as of the end of April 2057. I pick 100 because it’s a nice round number and because with 32 teams in the league it should capture all the guys who ought to be in the upper half of the league.
Here we go:
Rank | Year | Month | Day | ID | Pitcher | Team | Points | Days Inactive |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2057 | 4 | 30 | 62406 | H. Silva | Charm City Jimmies | 356.94 | 3 |
2 | 2057 | 4 | 30 | 62293 | S. Hasegawa | Calgary Pioneers | 356.28 | 0 |
3 | 2057 | 4 | 30 | 58623 | T. Nakamura | Omaha Cyclones | 353.37 | 0 |
4 | 2057 | 4 | 30 | 55363 | V. Zorba | Mexico City Aztecs | 353.11 | 1 |
5 | 2057 | 4 | 30 | 54167 | C. Thompson | Rocky Mountain Oysters | 348 | 2 |
6 | 2057 | 4 | 30 | 58517 | B. Kelly | Nashville Bluebirds | 347.87 | 0 |
7 | 2057 | 4 | 30 | 57855 | P. Cole | Vancouver Mounties | 347.87 | 0 |
8 | 2057 | 4 | 30 | 52578 | N. Thompson | Montreal Blazers | 347.34 | 3 |
9 | 2057 | 4 | 30 | 61254 | D. Molina | Boise Spuds | 344.44 | 4 |
10 | 2057 | 4 | 30 | 58392 | C. Evgrafov | Portland Lumberjacks | 344.32 | 0 |
That said, this is a list made up of only a relatively few starts, and with ballpark factors also barely workable simply due to so few games. Still, I’ll note guys like Phil Cole and David Molina show up here. Cole is, of course, going to be an interesting study because he’s going to be competing for the title of “#1 Pitcher” until his injury, and will, in fact take the title for a very brief time. Also of note is David Molina, who will be top ten until exactly May 6th, when he gets traded to Nashville and removed from the starting rotation to become a stopper … and also eventually get injured.
I note also that Mexico City has an entry, but it’s not Dave Corfield. This will not last forever.
Likewise Montreal, who will have guy fighting for the top spot, much of the year, but not Nelson Thompson.
Here’s the rest…
Again, note the date: April 30.
