All the current rage is going to Dana Eveland, and I confess that I have picked him up in two leagues (primarily because of desperation).

As you likely know, I rely a lot on past stats, so Eveland doesn't seem that sexy to me... but he has done well in tgwo starts, is getting "expert" hype, AND is available on a number of waiver wires (certainly went undrafted).

It is a gamble, though... but one I have to take particularly in my money league because I have Sabathia, and I was relying on him for Ks.  Eveland has 13 ks in 13+, I believe.

Of those you mention, I like all of those who you list... in this order:  Joba, Parra, Volquez, Bucholz.
