92 - absolutely awesome....
SP:
Johan Santana - on paper, simply the best out there
Carlos Zambrano - unless walks works against you, he is solid
Jason Schmidt - I think his move to LAD will help bring him back to dominance.
Rich Harden - IF he keeps his K pace from this week in Spring Training, he'll make Santana look like a chump. Note the IF, but so far I like what I see!
Barry Zito - Move to NL will help - nice.
Brad Penny - only question mark...
RP:
Joe Nathan - best on paper
Huston Street - not my fav, but decent
Joe Borowski - I know this isn't the popular opinion, but I think he will have a final flash in pan year and be very successful in Cleveland.

I really just can't find anything bad to say about either Santana or Zambrano. They are the best pitchers in their respective leagues.
Schmidt has the ability to be good but he hasn't really shown the ability to be dominant in a few years.
Zito is cursed for leaving Oakland. Both Hudson and Morris have yet to match the numbers they were putting up in Oakland and I wouldn't be surprised if the same holds true for Zito.
Penny is an okay pitcher but not great...he won't get that many K's for the number of innings he pitches and will really only have a good record if he gets constitant run support. He is also already experiencing some shoulder stiffness...it may be nothing, but it is never a good sign.
Harden should be very good as long as he bounces back from injury nicely. The same goes for Street.
Nathan may actually be the top closer in the game.
Borowski, however, is probably already on the hot seat. It wouldn't surprise me if he lost his closing job by June, if not sooner.

I have to rate it 95 out of 100 with the 1 question and 1 comment, the comment being Brad Penny (I don't like having two starters from the same team, that's all) and the question being Joe Borowski...I am not a big fan of his he is a streaky in he is either very good or very bad, I would look for another reliever or combo starter/ reliever like Clay Hensley of SAN or try and trade for another reliever. But if nothing is out there hang on to him if for nothing more than insurance.
If your batting lineup is even somewhat decent you should easily be near the top of your league all season. Good luck!

i'd give it a 97/100 cause yur starters are solid, but your bullpen only has Nathan and Street and you could try to get a guy like Chris Ray or Chad Cordero to give you more saves. Awesome pitching, if your offense is that good, you'll win your league for sure

Steller, no doubt about that, you have two starters who could be bonafide ones, and 3 more who could probably be number twos, your closers are solid, if you having hitting with this staff you could make a championship run. 89/100
