Fantasy Analysis

Greinke ranks fourth in our top starting pitchers to target next season. We don't like his supporting cast in Kansas City, but he is so dominant, you have to consider him in the top five. We rank Tim Lincecum, Halladay and Sabathia ahead of him, though. Hernandez rounds out our top five, while Verlander falls in next at No. 6 overall. Even though the AL has the DH, five of the top six pitchers in our Fantasy rankings for 2010 coming from the AL.
