I do agree with Marcum, though, he could be a bit of a steal very late.
I'll take a look at my numbers tonight again. I think my projection was driven by a rebounding K rate (not great, but much closer to his minor league numbers), a lower ERA, and a higher win total.

some nice names there Yoda. Man I forgot about Johnson....
Unless you are in a keeper league or can wait till late this year, you should go back to forgeting about Johnson. From cbssports.com:
Johnson had reconstructive elbow surgery in early August, a procedure that generally requires 12 months of rehab. The Marlins are not expected to be interested in rushing their young, talented right-hander back during the 2008 season, so ignore Johnson outside of keeper leagues. He will be nothing more than a DL stashee in those formats. (Updated 2/4/08)

some I like are: Loewen- put together some good starts before getting hurt shawn hill anthony reyes mcgowan marcum garza bailey kennedy? owings this is just off the top of my head but ill give them a chance mabey
what about John Patterson? I know he'll never be the pitcher that he was in 2005, but he could still post decent numbers and could be worth a look on the WW.

What would a healthy John Patterson mean to the Nationals in 2008? Quite a lot. They would like the right-hander to repeat his 2005 performance, when he set career highs in strikeouts (185) and had a 3.13 ERA in 31 starts. The past two years, however, Patterson hasn't been able to duplicate his '05 season because of nerve problems in his right forearm. He pitched in a combined 15 games during that span. Almost five months after having a second surgery to fix his nerve problems, Patterson, 30, said he is feeling great and ready to play a full season.
In fact, Patterson already is pitching on a mound. Last Monday, he threw 100 pitches without having any problems. During that session, he was able to throw breaking balls.
"I'm doing really well," Patterson said. "I'm throwing five to six days a week. I'm throwing bullpens [three days a week]. ... I've been really excited. It has continually gotten better. I've had some soreness in my body, but those were muscles that I haven't used in a while. My elbow and [forearm] have been really good."
He had great stuff and need only stay healthy to be a total steal late in the draft. Now if he can only stay healthy..
