When I go bargain bin shopping for SP I generally try to target unlucky players and bet on a bounce back year. I look for low FIP paired with a high BABIP. Ideally someone like that would have an inflated ERA and other similar stats and be cheaper. This may be preference, but I also like targeting control guys with low walk rates as opposed to a stuff guy with impressive K numbers but a higher than ideal walk rate. On top of all this, I do my best to target guys who don't get hurt. The last thing you want to do is lose your guy halfway through the season when (I'm assuming) you don't have the depth to cover that loss.
