Starting Pitcher Rankings: Chris Sale and Jose Quintana maintain status

We checked in on Bill James' Starting Pitcher Rankings at the All-Star break, but we didn't do so at the end of the season. The day after Thanksgiving is as good a time as any to remedy it.

If you missed that post or hadn't heard of the rankings, James devised a tool to evaluate starting pitchers and give them the same treatment as professional golfers or tennis players. Clayton Kershaw is No. 1. He's been No. 1 for a while, and it'll be a big deal when he's no longer at the top.
