Sonny Gray is the real deal.....He`s solid.....2.03 ERA leads the A.L.
Also that Garrett Cole is the real deal......Cole 13 wins with a 2.30 ERA.
Pirates are going to be a tough out if they get a wild card......Cole and Liriano can hang with Grienke and Kershaw......And they can also hang with Max and Fister.
This season`s performance.
1-Max
2-Grienke
3-Cole
4-Gray
5-Felix

Greinke
An incredible 14 of 18 games he has gone at least six innings and has given up 1 or 0 runs. Weakness is that he will virtually always need his bullpen to finish for him.
Scherzer
9 of 18 with 1 or 0 runs; 14 of 18 starts he went at least 7 innings; 7 of 8 or more
Keuchel
9 of 19 with 1 or 0 runs; 12 of 19 went at least 7 inn; 7 of 8 or more
Sale
8 of 17 with 0 or 1 runs; 8 of 17 into the eighth or ninth
Glen Perkins
28 save opportunities; 28 saves
Was tempted to put him at the top. Absolutely cannot have a Championship contender in '15 without a solid closer. This guy participates in about 50% more games than your top starter. He can make or break a lot of outcomes. He better be good. More important to me than any starter.

Kershaw, Felix, Sale, Cueto, Hamels.
Scherzer is a stud but someone had to get cut. Hamels has as much potential as anyone even though he's not doing so hot lately. I'm not sure his heart is into it on a horrible team with trade rumors all year. At his best he's possibly the best in the game IMO.
