My rankings include the entire 40 man roster, not just the active 25.
These rankings were compiled with the help of MLB stats, FanGraphs, misc. data, personal opinion, and some fairy dust I found hidden in Shoemaker’s beard.

| Rank | Player | Last Week | Change | High | Low | Comments |
| 1 |  Garrett Richards |
2 |  +1 |
1 | 8 | Two ace worthy performance last week including 6 no hit innings on Sunday. 15 total strikeouts in 13.2 innings iwth a .128BAA and a .67 WHIP. ACE! |
| 2 |  Jered Weaver |
12 | +10 |
1 | 14 | Weaver proved us all wrong last week by giving us the finger, upping his velocity and doing so through nine shutout innings. We will be in good shape if he has that kind of fire back. |
| 3 |  Jose Alvarez |
4 |  -1 |
4 | 8 | 3 more scoreless innings. Proving to be a great long relief guy. |
| 4 |  CJ Wilson |
3 | -1 |
3 | 12 | Didn’t walk a single batter last week but he did have a .259 BAA. So so performance but not bad. |
| 5 |  Hector Santiago |
10 | +5 |
2 | 14 | Well, good week – bad week, back to good week so I guess we can expect this coming week to be NOT good? |
| 6 |  Nick Tropeano*** |
5 | -1 |
3 | 11 | 13.2 IP and 6 ER for the Bees last week. Move down one spot. |
| 7 |  Huston Street |
1 | -6 |
1 | 10 | Holy sucktastic batman. TWO blown saves. .375BAA. Ouch. |
| 8 |  Cesar Ramos |
6 | -2 |
5 | 7 | One whole scoreless inning. |
| 9 |  Mike Morin |
8 | -1 |
3 | 10 | 2 scoreless innings. Twice as good as Ramos! |
| 10 |  Joe Smith |
7 | -3 |
3 | 13 | Smoked the same crack that hit Street and had a 1.5WHIP last week. |
| 11 |  Vinnie Pestano |
11 | – | 4 | 11 | Turned it around this week but only threw one inning. |
| 12 |  Matt Shoemaker |
9 | -3 |
7 | 12 | No one feared the beard last week. 6 homeruns in 10 innings? He gave up 9 hits over 10.1 innings but did have 14 ks. 67% of the hits he gave up were homeruns. I guess he either strikes someone out or gives up the long ball now. |
| 13 |  Cam Bedrosian*** |
13 | – | 13 | 17 | His stare.. I’m… What was I saying? |
| 14 |  Andrew Heaney*** |
14 | – | 10 | 16 | Still not panning out from that Hendrick trade. The Dodgers are laughing at us. |
| 15 |  Drew Rucinski*** |
15 | – | 2 | 15 | Not great again last week. Oh Drew. |
| 16 |  Fernando Salas |
16 | – | 15 | 18 | 1.2 scoreless innings. Maybe he can move back up soon. |
| 17 |  Ryan Mattheus |
17 | 17 | 17 | Pitched one scoreless inning in his Halo debut. | |
| 18 |  Jeremy McBryde*** |
18 | – | 17 | 19 | Meh. I really don’t have much to say about him. |
| 19 |  Danny Reynolds** |
19 | – | 18 | 19 | .2 whole IP. Yawn. |
| 20 |  Adam Wilk*** |
20 | – | 20 | 20 | Absolutely shelled last week and somehow was left in to give up 12 hits and 11 runs in 2.2 innings. Were the manager and pitching coach both asleep?? |
| 21 |  Chad Smith*** |
– | – | 21 | 21 | Welcome to the team! You’re bound to be better than Butera – right? |
