As spring training has started with pitchers and catchers going through official work outs, I got the Double G Sports "Expert" Panel to put together a top 10 ranking of New York pitchers. These rankings combine pitchers from both the Yankees and Mets. Each member was asked for their top 10 and with that I put together an overall ranking. Below you will find the overall rankings, plus each individual members rankings.
