Do I use my #3 Waiver on Brandon Phillips? WHIR!

Postby Therobsclub » Mon Apr 27, 2009 1:12 pm

Do I try and get him with my #3 Waiver or do I wait for something better to come along later in the year? If I do get him who do I drop? Hill, Cantu, or Carp.

I'm thinking Once Arod comes back Cantu has very little value on my team. Maybe I should try and package Hill and Cantu in a deal for a closer/SP?

C - Jorge Posada
1b - Albert Pujols
2b - Aaron Hill
3b - Chipper Jones
SS - Michael Young

I'd drop Carp. Phillips went 30-30 two years ago and 20-20 last year as a 2B, and now people are dropping him because he's had a bad few weeks. lol.

I would pick up Phillips using my #3 ww priority for sure. IF you are in a league with smart owners that know what they are doing then you won't have a better player to pick up down the line. But, if you are in a league with guys who dont know what's up, hold on to your ww priority and maybe Pujols will get dropped. ;-D But, seriously, pick him up.

please help

I'd drop Carp. But Hill and Cantu could be dropped as well. I'd definitely try to get Phillips with #3 Waiver. I'd be surprised if they guys with #1 or #2 waiver doesn't use it.

I would do it. I'm holding Phillips right now till he realizes the season's already started. Once you get him you could probably get a decent return on a trade with Hill while he's hot.

So perpelexing how many people seem to be dropping this guy...who's top 5 at least at a fairly scarce position. Why not try to deal him first?
Anyways...yes, use your #3 waiver spot on him -- if the guys ahead of have any sense at all however, you won't get him.
