Undervalued Pitchers

Here are some pitchers I feel are being undervalued this year.

• Javier Vazquez.  By now the annual Vazquez recs must be getting tiresome.  But he's moved back to the NL and is good for 200 Ks, double digit wins, and a solid WHIP at the least.
• Rich Harden.  He's worth quite a bit by himself if he manages 135 IP.  Add in replacement level pitching while he's out and you'll get a ton out of the roster spot.  Joba Chamberlain, Max Scherzer, and Randy Johnson fit this mold as well and come recommended.
• Jonathan Broxton.  The closing job is all his and he should strike out 85+ with 35+ saves and strong ratios.
• Yovani Gallardo.  Very solid as a 10th round pick, and I'm only projecting 180 IP.
• Matt Cain.  Sooner or later the wins will come.  The Ks and ERA are already here.
• Ted Lilly.  MDC has him as a 17th round pick, but he's the same old reliable Lilly.  Goes earlier in ESPN leagues.
• Brett Myers.  Goes especially late in ESPN leagues.
• Derek Lowe.  Too boring for my fantasy owners.
• Kenshin Kawakami.  Fear of the unknown?  The Braves' Japanese import is barely being drafted.  He should help in WHIP at the very least.
• Zack Greinke.  A bargain in Yahoo leagues, less so in ESPN based on an ADP comparison.
• Jered Weaver.
• Ricky Nolasco.  Happy to be on this bandwagon.
• Heath Bell.
• Kevin Slowey.  Not every day you find a 1.21 WHIP in the 16th round.
• Aaron Harang.
• Joey Devine.
• Matt Capps.
• Gil Meche.  Ignored for being a Royal.
• Scott Baker.
• Chad Qualls.
• Andy Sonnanstine.
• Frank Francisco.
• Joel Hanrahan.
