41. Tom Glavine – New York Mets (40 years old)Glavine is a future Hall of Famer who only registers this low because of his age and his moderate strikeout numbers. He’s a lock for double digit wins and sports a career ERA of 3.46…over TWENTY seasons. That, my friends, is consistency you can bet the house on. The only thing separating him from Maddux at this point in their respective careers is a few walks and a handful of strikeouts. Glavine is a solid mid-to-late round selection as a third or fourth starter.

42. Matt Morris – San Francisco Giants (33 years old)Matt Morris is a Cyborg. No one comes back from BOTH Tommie John and labrum surgery and continues to pitch effectively into their thirties…no one but Matt Morris. Now in terms of fantasy production, Morris is about washed up. His ratios are just to high to sustain over a full season, especially since he’s only good for about 120 strikeouts now. Let him fall to waivers and spot start him occasionally if you’re looking for a win in a quality matchup.

43. Zach Duke – Pittsburgh Pirates (24 years old)Duke had a tremendous second half in 2005, but found that it takes more than 4.89 K/9 to fool Big League hitters the second time around. He still has great control and should develop into a nice pitcher once he stops hitting so many bats. There’s not a lot in the peripherals to suggest that he’ll have much value in the short term though.

44. Chad Billingsley – Los Angeles Dodgers (23 years old)Billingsley had an extremely lucky first year as a pro, going 7-4 with a 3.80 ERA. But his control was absolutely atrocious as his K/9 was only .10 higher than his BB/9 (5.9 and 5.8 respectively). He profiles as an extremely gifted young arm that has no clue where the ball is going to end up, and just ask Daniel Cabrera or Oliver Perez how that works out in the Majors. Lots of upside, but even more reason to wait on it to develop.
