Just ranked starting pitchers with 10+ by WAR, highest being the 1 for the year, so down through 5, wanted to compare this year against previous.
2002-20011 Starters

Total of top 5: Avg 5.5, 2012 13.6
Total of top 5 releivers: Average 3.9, 2012 7.6
Interesting benchmarking to our past 10 years, We have 1 1, 3 2's, and Leake compares with a typical 3(especially adding his bat value)
