Technically going further......... Dylan Cease was a close top 2 pitcher season and next to Skubal would be tied for MLBs best pitcher along with Zach Wheeler given my baselines, standards and qualifications.
While I would pick Dylan Cease for a game 7 of a WS over Wheeler the stipulations for such Top pitchers aside from all other considerations aside from ERA being one of the main ones......
It was tough but I decided to move up Dylan Cease to a top 3 pitcher easily tied with either Skubal and Wheeler or better given overall skill set and weapons at disposal.......
I've always liked Cease and it's not just for the cool SoCal swag and devil may care attitude and bravado he so eloquently displays on the mound...... he just brings Real numbers, Real raw value, and Real results and in that sense is just as consistent as either Skubal or Wheeler in this regard and well rounded......
I had Cease for example on my top 10 last season while the "experts" and retarded donkeys at MLB/ESPN/MLB on Fox or Baseball Writers Association of America well before All-Star break in May before any of the so called "experts" and many fans questioned me even but the underlying numbers proved in the end he was worth of my top 10 as he was amongst top 10 or top 5 NL Cy Young finalist........
Given his BABIP technically Cease is looking to have an even better season and well considering Wheelers BABIP is only .002 points higher..... and given Wheelers consistency over 5 seasons...... while I would love to pick Cease given his overall stuff and you can see his stuff as wrote down on ink an paper over Wheelers......
Wheeler still commands more WAR and a lower ERA and has proven to be more consistent over a longer period of time.
Cease has proven to be consistently improving but overall Wheeler has consistently been in top 5 or top 10 Cy Young discussion over 5 years or longer in general vs Cease.....
As said my heart here wanted Cease as #2 top 10 pitcher but overall my brain said #3 and still much higher vs the "experts" and overall major respect to both Cease and Wheeler and all my top 10 and honorable mentions.....
Honestly any of the top 15-16 on my rankings......(as some were tied for certain categories) could be considered top 10 but the top 10 here are the best of the best fuck the BS regarding the "Power Rankings" by MLB/ESPN/MLB on Fox or the Baseball Writers Association of America....... those guys are retarded donkeys as far as I'm concerned.......
These are the Real Power Rankings..... brought to you only here on Rig-Talk and me some schmuck from Anaheim, yours truly The~Kid!!!!!!
From nowhere else or some other fake, lame and outdated conventional bullshit from MLB/ESPN/MLB on Fox or the retarded donkeys at the Baseball Writers Association of America........ Fuck them and I have shown a better record over two seasons from teams making postseason to NL or AL MVP/Cy Young and ROY ^_^
P.S. also scratched Chris Sale for Framber Valdez given other factors and considerations in general....... Nvm AL Pitchers have more value than NL pitchers on average <3

It's just me, my WAR-Ratio method and other factors and considerations, basic stats available to everyone and a little bit of calculus along with my Ti-84+ calculator.......thats it......you heard it here first.......
