What do you think of my team? Should I pick up Nolasco with my #3 waiver?

I absolutely would, Nolasco is going to turn it around and he hasn't been HORRIBLE in any of his starts. He's worth a #3 waiver. Drop Bannister.

Agree with the previous poster, not a question. Bannister gets dumped for Nolasco in a heartbeat.

Bannister is my spot starter spot. This isn't about upgrading from Banister to Nolasco, it's about whether nolasco is worth the #3 waiver or not.... I want to make sure everyone knows that.

How many teams and what are your waiver rules?

If someone goes on waivers only when another team drops him, yes, yes, yes.

If someone goes on waivers if they are brought up from the Minor Leagues, I still think I'd do it, but I might think before pulling the trigger.

Good question by the previous poster. If guys can be claimed on waivers when they are brought up from the minors, I'd wait for Price and Hanson. If no chance of getting them, then I think I'd use the #3 on Nolasco. He's not this bad of a pitcher.

It is a "drop only" waiver rule. Minor leaguers simly become available.

Thank you all for help, I'll put in the claim. I'll help you all, too.


Any news as to Hanson or Beckham?
