My rankings include the entire 40 man roster – not just the active 25 man.
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.
An asterisk* means the player was not on the active roster at the time of this posting.
Updates to List:
Garrett Richards was removed – had surgery and won’t be back til next year 🙁
Cam Bedrosian was called up, pitched crappy then was sent back down
Wade LeBlanc was purchased from the minors and called up
Mike Morin was recalled from the minors (technically the week before bus I missed him)
| Rank | Player | Last Week | Change | High | Low | Comments |
| 1 |  Matt Shoemaker |
9 |  +8 |
1 | 13 | No hitter through 7.1 innings and he struck out 9 over 7.2 innings. Just a day after we wondered what would happen without Richards, Shoemaker pitched a gem, showing up all those suckers who didn’t want to draft him. |
| 2 |  Huston Street |
2 | – | 1 | 4 | Street was Street. One of the best, least talked about closers in the baseball. |
| 3 |  Jered Weaver |
6 | +3 |
2 | 5 | He had good stuff last week – especially on Sunday against the A’s when we needed it. |
| 4 |  Joe Smith |
3 |  -1 |
2 | 4 | Lost a game Saturday thanks to a wild pitch. Jerk. Oh and hit someone that inning. |
| 5 |  Hector Santiago |
5 | – | 5 | 12 | Lowest ERA on the team among starters. Quietly getting better and better though he still throws about 20 pitches per inning on average. |
| 6 |  Fernando Salas |
10 | +4 |
6 | 14 | Spectacular. 4 innings, 7 Ks, no walks and only 2 hits. That’s how you work it from the bullpen. |
| 7 |  Jason Grilli |
7 | – | 4 | 8 | Blew the game Friday and got a save Sunday. Still better than Frieri who is now in the minors. Looking back – Dipoto is a genius. |
| 8 |  Kevin Jepsen |
8 | – | 4 | 6 | Got the job done last week. |
| 9 |  Mike Morin |
– | – | 9 | 9 | 2.1 solid innings last week. |
| 10 |  CJ Wilson |
13 | +3 |
9 | 16 | Pitched pretty solid last week. 9 Ks over 11.2 innings though the 8 walks is a bit concerning. |
| 11 |  Cory Rasmus |
11 | – | 8 | 11 | |
| 12 |  Wade LeBlanc |
– | – | 12 | 12 | We don’t expect you to be like Richards – just don’t suck please! |
| 13 |  Cam Bedrosian * |
12 |  -1 |
11 | 19 | Called up then sent down after he sucked for one inning. |
| 14 |  Vinnie Pestano |
14 | – | 13 | 14 | Meh |
| 15 |  Michael Roth * |
15 | – | 13 | 15 | Meh |
| 16 |  Michael Kohn * |
18 | +2 |
16 | 20 | Fabulous again. Only 1 hit and 1 walk through 4.1 innings with 6 ks. |
| 17 |  Caleb Clay |
16 | -1 |
14 | 17 | Crappy two weeks in a row |
| 18 |  Jose Alvarez * |
17 | -1 |
17 | 18 | Still not home |
| 19 |  Dane De La Rosa * |
19 | – | 18 | 19 | Pitching again finally but didn’t do so hot. |
| 20 |  Drew Rucinski * |
20 | – | 18 | 20 | Struck out an amazing 19 over 12 innings but gave up 5 earned runs. |
