With fresh rankings for the top starting rotations in Major League Baseball out of the way, the next step is right there like a hanging slider.
That's right. It's time to rank the aces.
The first step was to determine which pitcher is the de facto No. 1 on each team's staff, which didn't necessarily mean taking Roster Resource's word for it. It was more instructive to ask: "Who's carrying the rotation right now?"
Ranking the 30 pitchers was partly a matter of considering their track records, but more so how they're performing this year.
