Starting Pitchers to Watch in 2007: Chuck James

Only 52 days until opening day.

Chuck James' numbers from his rookie season in 2006 with the Braves are worthy of a double take. 11-4 with a 3.78 ERA on 18 starts, 25 appearances and 119 innings pitched. With a WHIP of 1.24 he's a fantasy baseball manager's dream. And yet there's a striking lack of buzz about this guy. The Bill James, CHONE, Marcel and ZiPS projections are positive overall - even if Bill James is the only one forecasting double-digit wins.

This guy would make a smart late-round draft pick in fantasy baseball.
