Shopping For Value: Starting Pitchers

I've taken the laboring pains of compiling a list of all current starting pitchers (minus a few like Jason Marquis) and mapping out their current ERAs, FIPs, xFIPs and ZiPS-projected rest of season FIPs (zFIP) to create a value chart of "who to buy" and "who to sell"

10 Pitchers To Acquire:

1. Javier Vazquez (9.00 ERA, 3.66 zFIP)
   
2. Jake Peavy (7.66 ERA, 3.99 zFIP)
3. Carlos Zambrano (7.40 ERA, 3.98 zFIP)
4. Justin Verlander (6.95 ERA, 3.56 xFIP)
5. Jon Lester (6.23 ERA, 3.72 zFIP)
6. Dan Haren (5.19 ERA, 3.26 zFIP)
7. Scott Kazmir (7.20 ERA, 4.27 zFIP)
8. Jason Hammel (8.04 ERA, 4.06 zFIP)
9. Josh Beckett (5.26 ERA, 3.47 zFIP)
10. Chad Billingsley (3.48 ERA, 5.40 zFIP)
    

Charlie Morton (16.20 ERA, 4.20 zFIP) was also on this list, but you really should not acquire Charlie Morton. Trust me. I've made that mistake once.
