I have the 3rd waiver wire priority, do I use it on Matt Wieters?

If so, who do I drop?

If you have a large enough bench where you can store Wieters away until he comes back, then I would say go for it - just make sure you have another decent catching option until then.

If you play a limited bench, or have no clear choice of what to do while waiting for him to be promoted, or who to drop, I might avoid adding him.

Well, right now I have Navarro starting in my catcher spot. I have Guillen on the bench, but he will start until Arod comes back. I have Lopez (who I like for his infield positions), and I have Murphy, and Gardner (who was granted starting CF for the Yanks).

So, I guess I can probably drop Downs and maybe Gardner.

What do you think?

Or, do you think Navarro will be fine?

can you put arod on the DL and open a spot that way?

I can't put him on the DL yet, not until the Yankees officially do it. :(

Yes, use it. Navarro is nothing more than 'servicable' where Weiters could be 'special'.

Help w/mine?

and drop who?

Downs is so intriguing because of his potential value with the Ryan situation. But Gardner could be pretty valuable as a spot starter and in case of injury. If there are some decent SB options on the WW still then I would drop Gardner but if not then Downs. I guess you could just take zeros at the C position for 4-6 weeks but Navarro is pretty good so I probably wouldn't do that.
