Would like to see a few examples of hitters you nabbed early, with the SLGBBSB x-ray glasses.  Good stuff.
................
Pitchers with 6+ K's and very low BB's are going to have very high CTL ratios and those are captured by Shandler-ites.  
Since the 1980's, James has preferred 6.5 strikeouts and 2.0 walks to 8 strikeouts and 4 walks.  I remember Greg Swindell as being one guy that he was always getting into arguments about, with his fellow 1980's sabermetricians.   Review Swindell's K/BB lines.   This is exactly the kind of pitcher that was a "find" in 1990.  :- )
Think your judgment is spot-on amigo, that 6.5 and 2.0 is better than 8 and 4 ... question is whether you're going to find any of those guys overlooked...

John Lackey is a guy who looks better as you laser-focus on K/BB and de-emphasize velo ... 7+ strikeouts, low 2's for walks... a true franchise pitcher...
On the lower end, bargain-hunting, Doug Fister is a guy that I champion precisely because I love super-low BB's in any pitcher who can strike out a few guys.
