I'll admit the NL was a little thin this week and I refuse to suggest Hampton. Moehler is a middle of the road guy that can string together some quality starts. He's never going to be stud but I think he has some value in smaller leagues.

I like Zimmermann but he's 17% owned in Yahoo. The threshhold is 20% so he qualifies but I've been trying to pick players that will more than likely be available on the waiver wire.

That 17% in Yahoo public leagues. In an NL only I'd guess he's around 50% owned but I don't have anyway to check just NL only leagues.

To back Pogo up here, we had a comment earlier in the season that the upper threshold of 20% was too high for the AL/NL-only leagues, because the players we suggested were never available. So, whilst we haven't changed the threshold, we have tended to look for guys who are owned in the single-figure % as much as possible, so that there is a chance that they are available in these deeper leagues.

So, whilst Zimmerman does technically qualify to be mentioned, if he is available in an NL-only league, there's probably something wrong with that league! (Either it's something like a 4-team league, or it's too uncompetitive). ;-D
