There are some big names on that list, however I would target Carmona, Weaver, Parra, and Jurjjens.

It's only a 11-team league, which might explain why these guys are available. Also, I didn't mention, but it's a total points league. ERA and WHIP don't matter and we get 1point/strikeout and inning pitched, 10 points/win and shutout and 6 points/complete game. The guy I have on the DL is Scott Baker, who is expected to miss 2 starts.

Weaver (back end starter, but could progress)
Gallaraga (not exciting, but decent ratios and excellent offense)
Carmona (risky, but could comeback)
Wandy (good K rates)

I picked up Gallaraga after putting Baker on DL. Picked him over Wandy. Weaver and Carmona were already taken.
