This is now my second year publishing my top 150 starting pitchers. If you’ve read my work before, you know I generally hate publishing starting pitcher rankings because they never feel done to me. As somebody who spends a lot of time watching/thinking about pitching,

Rodriguez, who is dealing with elbow and triceps issues, is slated to start the year on the injured list and is being shut down for the next 7-10 days.
