Here is the list that they went with:
11. Felix Hernandez (SEA)
10. Jacob deGrom (NYM)
9. Corey Kluber (CLE)
8. Dallas Keuchel (HOU)
7. David Price (BOS)
6. Jake Arrieta (CHC)
5. Chris Sale (CWS)
4. Max Scherzer (WSH)
3. Madison Bumgarner (SFG)
2. Zack Greinke (ARI)
1. Clayton Kershaw (LAD)
Here is the criteria they came up with:
A good start is defining a "true ace" as a pitcher who is a virtual lock for at least 200 dominant innings in 2016.
To help narrow the field, let's consider only pitchers with at least two straight years of ace-like pitching in their wake.
Said ace-like pitching also has to be believable, to the extent that it's featured plenty of strikeouts, few walks and/or strong contact management.
And though postseason excellence isn't a requirement, it's definitely a bonus.

Thoughts? Who do you think are "true aces" in baseball?
