Give all of your team's starting pitchers a "grade"?

You know, "A+", "B-", "C", etc.

Update:

For the Red Sox...

Josh Beckett: B+ (based on last year...hopefully he'll do well again this year!)

Dice-K Matsuzaka: B-

Jon Lester: C

Tim Wakefield: C (His pitching is still OK, but he's not getting any younger.)

Clay Buchholz: B- (I know he threw a no-hitter, but he can be a little inconsistant.)

Update 2:

Never thumbs down me-- Yeah, I'm a huge Red Sox fan, but I'm also a huge critic. I try not to sugarcoat the truth and make the Red Sox into this "magic" team. I know they have faults, and they're definitely not perfect.

    I'm a life long Astros fan and one of their toughest critics.

    1. Roy Oswalt: A-, he's on a bad team and getting older.

    2. Brandon Backe: C-, coming back from Tommy John.

    3. Wandy Rodriguez: D+, only pitches well at home.

    4. Shawn Chacon: D-, career 43-58 record.

    5. Chris Sampson: C+, good sport starter but he belongs in the Bullpen.

    Overall I'd give the staff a C-. Rodriguez, Chacon, and Sampson belong in the Bullpen or on the Triple A roster.

    San Francisco Giants B+

    the giants have a good rotaion (expect for zito) and an improoving bullpen

    1.Zito (off to bad start, but might pick up later in season) C-

    2.Cain (is going to be great, hopefully gets some run support) A

    3.Lincecum (a rising star in the making) A-

    4.Lowery(bad spring but will have a good year) B-

    5. Corriea (had a strong finish last year and hopfully will pick up where he left off) B-

    with lack of offense the giants pitching will look bad and have a lot of offense

    Aaron Harang A (consistent gamer)

    Bronson Arroyo A- (inconsistent, sometimes loses the strikezone)

    Johnny Cueto B (looking forward to seeing this kid)

    Edinson Volquez B (same as Cueto)

    Josh Fogg C (not convinced he deserves the job. Time will tell)
