Verlander just hit waivers

Postby SDDECK » Tue Apr 21, 2009 10:12 pm

Someone dropped Verlander in a 11team yahoo rotis league default cats. I have number 2 WW and really don't want to waste that seeing the players ppl have dropped. Should I pick him up if he clears waivers and who should I drop? I was planning on dropping Bonifacio when A-Rod comes back and don't really see anyone else worth dropping. What do you guys think?

I wouldn't hesitate at all in dropping bonifacio. Wouldn't use my waiver priority on him, atleast not with guys like scherzer also available.
I'd keep an eye on weiters aswell.....is it a keeper league?

thanks for the help with mine.

i'd drop bonifacio now for Verlander, and then worry about who to drop for ARod latter

don't waste a waiver on him...if he's scooped up then just grab scherzer or escobar

Dump Scutaro, Hoffman, Nick Swisher
for Max Scherzer, Scott Baker, Stephen Drew

I know some of your OF have started cold but they are must starts.

Trade Votto for whatever you can get. (Move Tex to 1b) -- preferably a 3b.

You need to do some 2 for 1s.

There is no way that you should let Wieters be a FA either. I'd do whatever I could to free up a roster spot for him.

Move Michael Young to 3b. Put Young at 3b and Drew at SS (he shouldn't be a FA either). Those are some insane FAs.

Go go go go!
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!

Kyle Davies is also available. Would you take Davies over Max Scherzer, Scott Baker?
