$1/last round fliers Starting Pitchers

[idriveabucket]

Everybody knows pitching is the easiest place to unearth an out of nowhere gem. In an auction league I'm in, I plan on experimenting on a "offense only" strategy and spending $9 on 9 pitching slots.

For this to work, I need some "sleeper" pitchers with lots of upside (HIGH ceiling even at the cost of LOW floor) to add to my list. Anybody have any they would like to share?

The league would be 12 team, mlb universe, 23 man rosters.

I'll get the ball rolling by sharing a couple deep sleeper SPs I really like:

* Henderson Alvarez, TOR, SP
* Danny Hultzen, SEA, SP

[schlesinj]

Bud Norris-Should get ks, not many wins
Jacob Turner
Mike Montgomery-Should start year in AAA
Jerome Williams-5th starter
Wade Davis-May start in pen
AJ Burnett
Drew Pomerends
Julio Teheran
Mike Minor
Juan Niscasio
Roy Oswalt-Assuming not signed by draft
Brett Myers
Jared Parker
Homer Bailey
Alex White
Tyler Skaggs

Julio Teheran
Homer Bailey
Tyler Skaggs
Trevor Baurer

[joncarlos]

Garrett Richards (LAA) - great stuff that hasn't translated into Ks yet. Needs a way into the rotation but the skills are worth a buck.

He'll turn 22 in April.GB% & walk rates like that do not grow on trees and that 15% HR/FB will come down a bit. Love him for a late flyer

This is a nice list but I think a lot of these go for more than a buck.

[Sour Masher]

This is a nice list but I think a lot of these go for more than a buck.

Yeah, I can't see guys like Dempster, Billingsley and Baker going for a buck.

[NL Only]

Some more (NL) potential $1 names:

Medlen (with health/health history of Hudson, Hanson & Jurrjens, he could start)
Capuano
Rubby De La Rosa (TJ Surgery...so only if keeper league)
Morton
Volstad
Pomeranz
Leake

Longshots
Arroyo
Detwiler


These guys will likely cost more depending on league size but still be cheap?
Collmenter
Worley
Zambrano
Cahill
Dickey
Shelby Miller

[mjl]

I actually really like AJ Burnett this year, although 12-team mixed you may not need to go that deep.
Do Worley or Volquez go for $1?

[Porcello]

Yeah, I can't see guys like Dempster, Billingsley and Baker going for a buck.

I got Dempster in round 22 in the KFFL BAD draft, Billingsley was plan B, and Baker didn't go long before either. In a mixed league they can be had for under $5. Maybe not quite $1 but close. Oswalt and Sale were more expensive. The rest can probably go for a buck or two, tops.
