For the first time in many years, three of the top 4 arms are available in my 14 team points leagues auction. I own the 4th, Kluber. My plan is to land one of the others in the auction, but I'm having a hard time ranking Scherzer, Sale, and Kershaw.
Since they all have such ridiculously good upsides, and since I'm a contender who is much, much more concerned with blowing a huge chunk of my auction dollars on a bust/injury than I am picking the one of these three that will be the best, it makes sense for me to rank these guys on downside rather than upside. All three guys have some risk, if you look hard enough. How would you rank them, least to most risky?
Right now, I have them ranked based on risk as I list them above--Scherzer, Sale, and Kershaw. To me, the guy I already own is the safest, but I know I may have a Kluber bias. I ask for his inclusion in your rankings simply because I think ranking all 4 elite tier arms based on downside would be more universally useful for other mixed leaguers.
