Iannetta Just Dumped. Drop Posada? Use #4 waiver? WHIR!

Postby vykeengfan » Sat Apr 18, 2009 1:16 am

Just as the topic says - someone dropped Iannetta. Do I drop Posada for him? If so, do I do so before he clears waivers and try to use my #4 priority, or wait and see if he clears? 12 team yahoo league, roster and cats listed below. Also, we have a 25 transaction cap, and I've made one move.
Batters
C: Jorge Posada (C)
1B: Adrian Gonzalez (1B)
2B: Dustin Pedroia (2B)
3B: Miguel Cabrera (1B,3B)
SS: Derek Jeter (SS)
OF: Matt Holliday (OF), Ryan Braun (OF), Chris Young (OF)
Util: Joey Votto (1B)
BN: Edwin Encarnacion (3B), Jose Lopez (1B,2B), J.D. Drew (OF)

Pitchers
SP: Roy Oswalt (SP), Carlos Zambrano (SP)
RP: Matt Capps (RP), Heath Bell (RP)
P: Joe Saunders (SP), Frank Francisco (RP), James Shields (SP)
BN: Gil Meche (SP), Jordan Zimmermann (SP) NA

cats: R, H, HR, RBI, SB, BB, K, TB, AVG, W, L, CG, SV, BB, K, ERA, WHIP, BSV

Thanks and WHIR!!!

I would use the waiver on Iannetta. If I remember right, he started out slow last year as well. Give him time, he'll come around.

so it looks like the move to make is to use the #4 priority to try and grab iannetta, and to drop posada to make room.

Ianetta is toxic right now. One hit for the year. Can't imagine any other owners picking him up. Don't use waiver for him, just pick him up as a FA.

Agreed. You'll be able to upgrade your catcher post-waiver.

The danger he is that this is more 2007 Iannetta than 2008. At least this way, you've still got your high waiver in case it doesn't work out.
