Jordan Zimmerman is my #1 sleeper that I plan on grabbing in every league. He reminds me of Josh Johnson coming back from his TJ surgery. Zimm struggled in the brief stint in the majors last yr, but was lights out before his callup in the minors (1-something ERA).
I agree with Brandon Webb. He is virtually free in many leagues, so I think he is worth the risk if you can get him cheap. He is a groundball pitcher and has an outstanding defensive infield so he could have some huge success in Texas IF he can stay healthy.
Rich Harden is an interesting case. Its not good that he already has an injury, but much like Webb he is basically free. He has elite k/9 potential, and worth a flier IMO, if there is nothing better and it is a deep league.
Chris Young (NYM), former Padres pitcher, is another guy I might grab/keep an eye on in my dynasty league. He is going to be 32, but will be pitching in metco now so it is close to a lateral move as far as pitchers parks go. Again, he is close to free so there is no risk involved. Could be a solid find off the waiver wire, IMO. Maybe this years Shaun Marcum.
