I don't understand the need to burn waiver claims like water especially immediatly following a draft. All of those guys will clear waivers, at worst maybe one gets picked up. How silly will you feel when you burn a claim on trash like Hermida and then someone in your league does something stupid like this...
WALLBANGERS sign Ramon Hernandez and release Victor
Martinez. (Gimmie Head2Head)


I had the #1 claim in this league and I didn't even burn it on V-Mart despite the fact that I have Gerald Laird at catcher. The catcher spot just isn't valuable enough to me. I'm waiting for a drop like Pat Burrell or Clayton Kershaw, or even something bigger than that, it happens.

Save it. Not worth using yet.

Ten D, you should have grabbed VMart.

Hal·la·day, n. 1. every fifth day in Philadelphia. 2. a day of rest for the bullpen. 3. innings eater. 4. doc. 5. ace.

Don't use your waivers on any of those guys. I'd pick up Cameron when he clears. He's got 20/20 potential and is still a valuable fantasy player even with his low batting average.

Depends on the league, but usually 2 days after the draft or after the player has been dropped. they become a free agent and you can pick them up without losing your waiver priority.
