Alexei, Atkins dropped - help me make the most of a mistake

Postby lane_anasazi2 » Tue Apr 21, 2009 2:37 pm

So I've got what I think is a solid team for a 12 team, H2H, 5x5 league. Alexei Ramírez and Garrett Atkins were just dropped. (I know, I know, spare me the "YER LEAGUE IS WEAK LOLLOLOLOL" comments - they were dropped by the same guy and he's not that good). I'm thinking about putting in a wavier claim, Atkins for Beltre. I'm trying to move Drew or Furcal, and now here's Alexei on the WW. To be honest I wasn't high on him at all, which is why I didn't draft him in any of my leagues, but he's got to be worth a waiver claim, right? But I'm not seeing who to drop. Maybe I should just drop Shoppach for Alexi, then trade either Furcal, Drew, or Alexi and a Scherzer for a better pitcher, then pick up a random catcher? I'm torn here. Thoughts?

WHIR. Sorry to bump, but it's kind of time sensitive - they come off the WW and go onto the FA list tomorrow.

Drop Shoppach for Alexei using your first waiver.
Drop Beltre for Atkins using your second waiver


Then look to deal Alexei/Sczcher for a legit catcher and a upgrade in SP.
