I am struck by some comments about Gibson and Mejia and Littell in the July 13 recap and it makes me wonder how we would rank our own pitchers right now.

I would certainly have Rogers first and Blake Parker does not rate high on my faith index. Here is my attempt at ranking them all.

1. Taylor Rogers - two inning saves are great. 41 innings in 34 games, 1.73 ERA and for what it is worth 13 saves.
   
2. Jose Berrios - He is our Ace
   
3. Jake Odorizzi - I hope he can keep this going all year.
   
4. Ryne Harper - who would have thought this. I still do not like the fact that 50% of his inherited runners score, but he seems to have gotten the faith of the manager and pitching coach.
   
5. Michael Pineda - I am finally coming around on Pineda - his last month has been excellent and I hope that trend continues.
   
6. Trevor May - he has not become the relief stud we hoped for, but he has stopped inherited runs and not given up runs, what more can we ask for.
   
7. Martin Perez - Loved his first two months, has he turned things around again? We could use that stud who dominated April/May
   
8. Kyle Gibson - 4.03 era better that Perez and Pineda, but last year's Gibson has not shown up and he does not look like a playoff pitcher. His average inning pitched per game is 5.1
   
9. Blake Parker - I am not a believer, but he has pitched 31 innings in 32 games and despite giving us acid reflux during his innings, he has maintained a 3.77 ERA
   
10. Devin Smeltzer - currently off the roster, but he seems to have the sixth starter position.
    
11. Lewis Thorpe - good audition, may also rotate for sixth starter and next year he and Smeltzer could be in the rotation.
    
12. Tyler Duffey - He does not seem to be putting batters away, but at least his era is under 4.
    
13. Kohl Stewart - not sure what his role will be but we keep seeing him pop up - currently off the MLB roster.
    
14. Mike Morin - His whip is under 1 which none of the relievers I have already listed come close to, but his usage seems to indicate that he has not yet gained the faith of his manager.
    
15. Zack Littell - The good innings are really good, but
    
16. Adalberto Mejia - has had many roles and a few years and still does not have it.
    
17. Matt Magill - 4.67 era, 1.481 WHIP, 2 WP, 2 HBP,
    

So what do you think? Rearrange and give me your input.
