Hello everyone. Welcome back to another edition of my position-by-position dynasty rankings for 2027.
Last week I unveiled my Top 50 Dynasty Relievers for 2027 Fantasy Baseball, so this week I turn my attention to the starting pitchers.
As is often the case, as time moves on a person’s views and ways of doing things slowly change. In the past I gave more weight to older pitchers because I don’t like the many ups and downs younger pitchers have. I wanted “certainty” from my starters for the next three seasons. If I liked what I was predicting, I was taking them regardless of their age.
To be honest, this approached has served me well. While my opponents were going after the top young arms, I was able to get a Chris Sale or Zach Wheeler at a “discount” because they were so much older. But I have slowly shifted my overall outlook to go after younger starters as well. One big reason is many of the top young arms are just better at adjusting to the majors than in the past.
They are still going to hit a few bumps in the road, but not as many. So I am now willing to accept those ups and downs because their long-term upside is tremendous. Thus the below rankings now feature a lot of younger pitchers ranked higher compared to how I would have ranked them in the past.
With that out of the way, it’s time to move on to the Top 100 Dynasty Starting Pitchers for 2027 Baseball.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
