    I like this one but I think Ketchel should be included...perhaps switch him for Conn.

    Yep.
    To be honest, I didn't put too much thought into it, I just copied and pasted my ATG top eight SuperMiddle rankings (in order). I think I have Ketchel at ten. I have him in the top five at 160lb, though.
