37. Jon Garland - Chicago
White Sox (26 years old)
Jon Garland is officially the luckiest pitcher in the American League. Despite
regressing in every way fathomable, he still managed to win 18 games for the
second year in a row. His ERA jumped a run, and he strikes nobody out…but…his
walks dropped for the 3rd straight year. And therein lies the secret of
Jon Garland...he gets a crap load of run support but manages to keep runners
off the bases himself.

38. Boof Bonser - Minnesota
Twins (24 years old)
Bonser not only has the same name as Michael J. Fox's girlfriend in Teen Wolf,
he's a pretty solid pitcher as well. In his first season as a pro, he had good
control and excellent strikeout ratios. His trouble was with the long
ball. At 24 he still has plenty of upside and will start the season in
the
Minnesota
rotation.

39. Jamie Shields - Tampa
Bay Devil Rays (25 years
old)
Shields is a solid young pitcher with lots of upside. He has good control
and strikes out 7.5 batters per nine. He gave up too many homeruns last season
and had an unlucky .313 BIPA. Look to get in on this guy cheap.

40. Bartolo Colon – Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (31 years old)
Colon missed virtually all of the 2006 season due
to a torn rotator cuff. He says he'll be ready to pitch at the
beginning of the season, but the team isn't planning on it. Rotator
cuff injuries are typically tough to recover from, let alone in a short
period of time. Colon doesn't warrant more than watching on the waiver
wire once he begins pitching again.
