Fantasy Question: Rank These Four SPs?

Question from: Jordan - Originally received on 07/09/07

Question - In a 20-team 5x5 league with 7 keepers, I've assembled this keeper core: Albert Pujols, Jose Reyes, Miguel Cabrera, Carl Crawford, Russell Martin, Jake Peavy, and Felix Hernandez (I've worked really hard, and have done well with timely buy-lows and sell-highs). I also have these players on my roster: Matt Holliday, Carlos Zambrano, and Francisco Liriano.

My target is 5 bats and 2 arms, with zero relievers as keepers (I just don't trust them enough, even though I have Saito and Hoffman), and I try to plan a core that will be competitive for 5+ years (so youth is a plus). I'm very happy with C/1B/SS/3B... which OF should I keep to balance my team the best, Holliday or Crawford? Also, looking to the long-term, how should I rank those 4 SPs? I am probably going to have to trade one of them away. I'm very high on Felix, and I like Liriano if he can stay healthy... but Peavy is flat out dominant and Zambrano is always a shiny spot on a roster. How should I rank those 4 SPs, 1-4?
