This week at Harper Wallbanger, I'm sorting through the Big Board for 12-team 5x5 leagues to find the must-draft and must-avoid players at each position. Welcome to the final stretch, it's starting pitchers!

STATE OF THE POSITION

Last year's story was how reliable the top 20 or so "aces" were, and then the great homerun surge of '16 happened. This year the search for reliable pitching stands on much shakier ground, with a solid top-10 followed by question marks on top of question marks. I'm taking one of those top 10 aces and then searching for values. As always, there is a tier of overvalued mid-range guys including Paxton, Nola, and Rodon. I love these guys too, but there is a real trick to drafting them. Someone always ends up taking them very, very early. Every bit of profit you might get from predicting their breakout is thrown out the window by doing that, and so then you're hoping for a breakout on top of a breakout! It's a bad bet. So I'll be shooting for the overlooked potential breakout SP's... here we go.
