Your fantasy baseball drafts are right around the corner. Here’s my attempt at separating 40 starting pitchers into eight tiers.
Tiers are very subjective and one player could easily be considered just good enough or just bad enough to be in the next higher or lower tier.
Let me know what you think. Also check out my fantasy baseball first basemen tiers, second basemen tiers, shortstop tiers, third basemen tiers, and catcher tiers.
Tier 1: Justin Verlander, Roy Halladay, Clayton Kershaw, Cliff Lee

Tier 3: Dan Haren, Zack Greinke, Cole Hamels, Josh Johnson, David Price, ...
