ESPN’s Buster Olney continued his Top 10 Feature and posted the Top 10 Starting Rotations. Leading the pack was the Detroit Tigers, but the Mets failed to make the cut.
1. Detroit Tigers
2. Los Angeles Dodgers
3. Washington Nationals
4. St. Louis Cardinals
5. Pittsburgh Pirates
6. Oakland Athletics
7. Texas Rangers
8. Atlanta Braves
9. Cincinnati Reds
10. Tampa Bay Rays (for now)
Honorable mentions went to the Miami Marlins, Boston Red Sox, and the Seattle Mariners, if they happen to land Masahiro Tanaka.
The Mets didn’t make the list, but when asked by Matt Cerrone how they would rank with a healthy Matt Harvey, Olney tweeted that the Mets would definitely be a Top 10, and probably Top 5 rotation.
