A couple of days back I looked at the second tier starting pitchers using xFIP. Today, I want to take another stab at evaluating the second tier starters by using [tag]Average Draft Position[/tag].

I’m using statistical data from [tag]Mock Draft Central[/tag] during the time period of March 7, 2007 to March 14, 2007. They have analyzed 333 mock drafts during that time, all were 5X5 mixed league drafts. If you want to see more ADP data or would like to practice a live draft or two, go check out Mock Draft Central.

Here’s the 2nd tier, SP data. ADP is listed 1st, then the highest the player was drafted is listed 2nd, and lowest drafted position is 3rd.

Chris Carpenter - 29.61 (16 Highest) (40 Lowest)
Carlos Zambrano - 42.58 (27 Highest) (54 Lowest)
Roy Oswalt - 40.05 (26 Highest) (51 Lowest)
Brandon Webb - 50.42 (38 Highest) (60 Lowest)
Roy Halladay - 41.61 (25 Highest) (53 Lowest)

Yet another ranking system that doesn’t agree with my SP rankings here at Crooked Pitch. And to boot, ADP also proves what a lot of people have been telling me lately: Jake Peavy should be in my 2nd tier SP options.

Jake Peavy - 47.84 (34 Highest) (59 Lowest)
