Jon Anderson's SP Tiered Rankings and Projections, Part 2

Jon Anderson reviews the rest of his starting pitcher ranks for the 2022 fantasy baseball season.

We're back to finish out my starting pitcher tiers! In Part One, we covered my top-38 starters, you can check that out here!

We'll reveal and review the rest of my top-75 starters in this post. I admit that things got a little sloppy for me near the end, but when I encounter a pitcher that I would just never consider at the going rate, I end up just throwing them way far down on my list because I know I'll never draft them anyways.

Let's get to it.

Tier Seven: Coming Off Injury/Might Just Stink

Clevinger and Severino are both talented enough to end up as a top-20 starter, but it has proven to be really tough for a pitcher to come back from missing this much time and really have a large fantasy impact. I'd rather not roll the dice.

I'm a bit of a Sonny Gray fan myself, and you can tell that I really don't like Flaherty. There's a good chance Flaherty makes me look incredibly silly here as I rank him lower than probably anybody else around.

My Favorite: Gray

My Fade: Flaherty

ADP Considered Upside: Clevinger 

Tier Eight: Low K and Heartbreak

Yes, I plan to have a lot of Tony Gonsolin this year. Even I will admit this is a ridiculous ranking of him, but you've got to plant your flag somewhere.

I'm really off the Snells and Rodons of the world, I just don't want any part of betting on their health, and with Snell, that's not even the only question. I would much prefer a lower-ceiling but a higher-floor option like Bassitt, Eovaldi, Anderson, or Gonsolin here.

My Favorite: Gonsolin

My Fade: Rodon

ADP Considered Upside: Gonsolin

Tier Nine: Anybody's Guess

There are a few boring but reliable pitchers here like Montgomery, Civale, Means, and Valdez, and also some high upside names like Gray, Houck, and McKenzie. This is the point where I really want to be near the back-end of my rotation, as exactly none of these guys are trustworthy for 2022 fantasy purposes. I find myself drafting a lot of Civale and Gray though, as I really like that combination together for the strikeout upside of Gray and the innings/ERA security of Civale.

My Favorite: Gray

My Fade: Valdez

ADP Considered Upside: Carrasco 

Tier Ten: Names I Wish Would Retire

The first five names here are guys I'm just tired of thinking about. They have been jerking us around for so long in fantasy, and I am done with them. The last name there is someone I feel like will probably start doing that to me over the next few years, but he's someone I believe in at the current moment.

My Favorite: Taillon

My Fade: Wainwright

ADP Considered Upside: Alzolay 

Tier Eleven: Guys I'm Wrong About But Want To See Proof

All of these guys, except Ynoa, Heaney, and Wood, should probably be a tier or two or several ahead of where I have them. However, I just can't really see myself pulling the trigger on any of them after I see where they go. There's just no chance I spend a top-200 pick on Kopech or a top-150 pick on Mahle, I mean come on. So they get tossed to this tier of guys that I admit are completely misranked.

My Favorite: Kopech

My Fade: All of them?

ADP Considered Upside: Ryan
