Funny you should ask...
I just realized MLB.com never got in touch with me to do the column this season. With everything going on, it never struck me we are about to start the season.
I will still do something for the site and will put something together tomorrow. It may not be fancy. Fancy will come starting next week.
On the request of mlb.com, I developed a ranking system, but that was in-season and used year to date stats. I'll tweak it a bit to use our projections until everyone goes through the rotation a couple of times.

Catchers are like prostate exams -- comes a time where you can't put if off any longer, so you may as well get it over with and take it up the butt - The Forum Funklord

You know you have to seek therapy when you see one of your pitchers had a bad night and it takes you 15 minutes to find the team you have him on. - The Forum Funklord

Thats great Todd, thanks, looking forward to it.
My 2 cents: I am all for reliable over fancy any day.
