Here are the first pitcher prices of the season. Just dollar figures for tonight. On Saturday at some point, I'll add commentary, maybe move some ranks around.
Rest-of-season value is the goal when we do these Shuffle Ups. What's happened to this point is merely an audition.
The dollar values are unscientific, and merely provided as a tool to compare the players at the same position (I wouldn't suggest you use them to compare players at different positions). Groups of players at the same price are considered even.*

Remember the golden rule: no one gains or loses extra value because you do (or don't) roster that partricular player.*
Disagree? Excellent. That's why we have a game, and that's why it's a heck of a lot of fun. I welcome your respectful disagreement, both here and on Twitter.*
I didn't include Noah Syndegaard or anyone else in the minors. I did rank injured pitchers, but those are merely courtesy ranks. Everyone seems to expect more of injury-returnees than I do. They're worth whatever you want them to be. I'm not going to haggle over the injured guys.*
