Drop Shoppach for Weiters

Postby bologna_sandwich » Sun Mar 29, 2009 10:33 am

A guy just dropped Weiters after finding out about his AAA start.
I have PabloSandoval and Kelly Shoppach.
Also, I have the #1 waiver priority! Although i'm not keen on using it this early.

1.Which catcher would you drop??
2. Would you use #1 waiver for Weiters??

Thanks in advance!!!

Do you start 2 C? If not, I'd be happy with Sandoval.

In one catcher league, yes, pick up Wieters. I think he's worth the #1 priority.

Please help!

We just start one. I drafted Shoppach late in case Sandoval was bust city.

Also, #1 waiver on Weiters??!??!??
Is he really worth giving up that waiver spot?? :-o

Maybe but it's just not worth the gamble (to me) in a 1 C league. I would probably cut bait on Shoppach as well and worry about it if Sandoval does bust. I do doubt that Sandoval will "bust enough" to not be a valuable C though.

I wouldnt waste that waiver spot, unless you feel you can get something in trade for Sandoval or Weiters that would benefit your team more than having both of them on your roster and playing rotisserie catcher

Well, I didnt put a claim in for him and checked this morning over coffee to see if he cleared.
All the other owners seem to be asleep at the wheel as he slipped through and I quickly snatched him up w/out losing my #1 waiver spot!!!

Thanks for the advice guys! Good luck this year ;-D

I'm not the highest on Weiters for where he is being drafted, but a waiver pickup with not losing your priority, is nice.
