I have no trouble finding cheap pitchers... it's the performance they struggle with.

Seriously, though, I go for high control. I'd much rather they give up 30 solo home runs than 12 3-run bombs because they walked everyone. Plus, guys who don't walk batters will go comparatively deeper into games reducing workload on the bullpen. When rebuilding, ask around about older AAA guys that don't figure into a team's plans. You can often get them below market value and plug them in as stopgaps while waiting for your prospects to develop.
