If Zito goes to any coast team I think he becomes immediately overvalued. I think he'll be valuable but the hype surrounding him would sky rocket and move him into top 5 SP status in most drafts.
This is a possibity. However, it really depends on where he goes imo. If he goes to the Yanks, then I do not think it has the hype effect in fantasy that going to the Mets would have. In the former he would move to the AL East form the A's, so it might offset things. In the latter, going to the NL East with no DH and a team that should beat up on a lot of opponents will sky-rocket is hype and his price as you say. I doubt he makes top 5 SP status though.

ESPN had RJ winning 30 games when he went to the Yanks

Helton hasn't missed much time this year. Good luck with him, as I see no reason for optimism about Todd Helton at all. I've burned draft picks on him two years in a row, and it won't happen again. I guess I might draft him if he hung around til the late rounds. But I'd have to cut his sorry butt the first time some crappy closer was available.
Helton has had health issues for quite some time now. He generally plays through a bad back every year. I dont' really see his power rebounding all that much.
I think one of the bigger undervalued guys is the best pitcher on the Tigers. Your average fan probably wouldn't even guess the right guy...well neither does his manger. Bonderman's peripheral stats are near elite, but because of a highish ERA, I can see him going much later than he should next year.
My apologies. I have a nephew named Anfernee, and I know how mad he gets when I call him Anthony. Almost as mad as I get when I think about the fact that my sister named him Anfernee.

I see Bonderman going much higher than you would expect. He pitched great in the beginning and people won't forget.
