Pitcher Rankings

[RAY@HQ]

We're still chasing a couple of glitches with the SP report. Seems like a couple of SP a day are wrong, but it's not consistent with a particular team, etc. Sorry about that.

The range of the SP scores is theoretically 0-5. But the majority tend to fall in the 0-2 range. Anything over 2 is a very promising start for ERA, as Ron found in a study last month (available in his column archives).

I have another question about the rankings. I don't remember seeing an individual pitcher get a preview with a ranking of 3 or greater. This despite the fact that many teams have ratings over 3. Is it possible with the process for pitchers to receive this type of ranking?

The "Starting Pitcher Rankings" section has several errors. Gorzelanny, for instance, is starting todays game vs COL not Silva. I believe Gorzelanny was listed yesterday but I can't find yresterday's piece.
