I participated in all three expert NL only leagues last year and did have difficulty obtaining top starting pitchers in two of the three leagues.
In CBS, my rotation was anchored by Rich Hill ($14), Jake Arrieta ($14), and Kyle Hendricks ($13). In LABR - where I was a last minute fill-in, Arrieta again ($16) and no other starter over $10.
I didn't like either of these staffs, so overcompensated in Tout, buying Kershaw for $39 and a bunch of $1-2 starting pitchers.
The LABR staff (and team) was my best one by far, in part because of Josh Hader but mostly because I was most doctrinaire/true to my valuations.

So you've got yourself a pitcher, Mike! (Greinke comment)

The main difference between Scherzer and deGrom seems to be home runs allowed and Ks. Otherwise, their performance (taking out team Wins) were nearly identical. I like to do a simple equation of IP*ERA+. For Scherzer that's 37,073. For deGrom it's 46,872. That's because deGrom's ERA+ was so much better. Which seems odd considering deGrom pitched in a pitcher friendly park and Scherzer a hitter favorable park. FIP bears it out too. Must be the HR allowed.

Somers is from San Francisco, so no need to be embarrassed Alex. Also, Somers is older than Maffei.
Frankly, I'm surprised the vote was so overwhelming. DeGrom had the better year, but not that much better, and while the RS differential between the two was great, there is a bit of argument to be made for the results, which gave Scherzer more strikeouts and more wins. I think I would have voted for deGrom, his season was that good, but Scherzer was also deserving.

Well, he's 70. And the real villain here is Steve Somers.
Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be a New Yorker.

Totally justifiable to vote for Scherzer, but his explanation wasn't good. It was basically, "Randy Jones told me wins are good." Also, the old, "If you only get one run of offense, you have to get all scrappy and plucky, and give up zero." Also known as the Modified Wilbon. Some of these guys are too young to be that stupid, and I'm 59.

Who was the single solitary sportswriter who voted for Scherzer?
Did he know he risked being a laughing stock?
I'm not saying he shouldn't have! Scherzer had a phenomenal year. Perfectly okay by me that someone put him first on his ballot.
I'm saying, in this age of advanced analytics and social media, he took a chance.
