I agree, not worth a No. 1 spot. I'd grab him as a FA, but not worth the No. 1 waiver slot. Save that for a hot rookie who can make a real impact.

Help if you can?

I agree. He's not worth burning the #1 waiver spot. He might even clear.

lil help?

He should clear waivers...if you want to grab him then, I wouldn't object, but don't waste #1! :-)

No reason to waste the no.1 waiver on him. More than likely he will clear waivers but if not someone else will come around that will be worth using it on.

help me out?

Save the number 1 waiver claim, as someone may still cut a premium player who's slumping as a knee jerk reaction, or as others have said, a hot rookie may come up worthy of that waiver claim. Good chance he clears, at that point I'd drop Napoli for him, and if he continues to hit, think about shopping Mauer, as I certainly wouldn't want to gamble on his health all year given that he missed time to open the campaign. Good luck.

I bet he clears waivers. Certainly not worth #1. I bet you can even let him sit there for a while and scoop him up as soon as he has a decent game. If I had to drop someone, I'd drop Burrell. He's borderline ownable in a 10-team league, and with Adam Jones on your bench I just don't see Burrell getting much playing time for your squad (and I doubt you could trade him for squat).
