Grab Price from Waiver Wire?

Postby Rance Mulliniks » Tue Apr 07, 2009 6:12 pm

12 team 5x5 roto, I've got the #2 WW priority and David Price just hit. I'd usually jump at him, but this early in the season there's also a chance another boneheaded manager will dump even more quality if they're off to a slow April. Should I wait and see if he clears? Am I over thinking it?

If I grab Price, who should I drop??

C M.Napoli
1B L. Berkman, C. Guillen
2B D. Uggla, J. Lopez
3B C. Jones
SS T. Tulowitzki
OF R. Braun, C. Crawford, N. Cruz, Daniel Murphy
SP J. Peavy, R. Oswalt, E.Bedard, J. Weaver, Z. Grienke
RP B. Jenks, B. Fuentes, F. Francisco, M. Lindstrom, C. Villanueva

Thanks!

Villenueva is droppable, but I would wait and see who gets dropped in the upcoming couple of weeks.

help with mine?

Agreed with Villanueva. He looks like your best option.

Villanueva is the one to drop. He'll give you a couple of saves, but don;t expect more than 10 saves from him.

Thanks for your help with mine. Exactly what I wanted to know.

I agree with dropping Villanueva, although I think you might be better off just waiting. I think you're right about someone better getting dropped. Price is still young and might have a bit of a leash (and for all his talent, there will still be bumps in the road).

Villinueva or Guillen would be the only two I could see you dropping. I'd drop either for Price.

I've thought about this for awhile (okay, like 30 minutes, but whattever) and I think you gotta pull the trigger. Villinueva is the one to drop, IMO. At the very worse, Price's name value becomes nice late/mid-season trade value.

Rance Mulliniks, now theres a throw back name from the old Jays.

with closers of Jenks, Fuentes, Francisco, and Lindstrom having Villanueva isnt a must have. the limited number of saves he could have wont help as much as having the stats Price could give for the time he is in the majors.


help?

5 closers is too many unless saves count a lot. Villanueva would be the one to drop but your SP is pretty solid as is and if someone gets impatient with a guy who starts slow a big bat might come your way.

Thanks for the help with mine

With your closer depth Villanueva is definitely the guy to drop but I personally like your SPs so I might sit tight & wait to see if a quality player that can help your team more gets dropped.
