I’m pretty sure you’ve received feedback already. But I just had to respond.
Top 20 AL starters hmmmm. Blanton pitches for Phil. Vazquez for Pit. Schilling probably won’t pitch this year having had shoulder surgery. Escobar is ahead of schedule in his surgery rehab but its 1/2 year at best.
Not on your list: Chamberlain, Lee, Santana, Danks, Price, Verlander and Greinke all 4 in almost everyones top 20 (Chamberlain, Santana and Greinke in most top 10’s).
Not to nit pick, but to win your league, you have to see errors in posted lists.

Dr. Smith,
Thanks for keeping me in check. I actually truly appreciate it when people do so. However, if you’ll look at the date of the post you commented on, you’ll see that it was written prior to the 2008 season.
