Soto worth a #2 waiver?? whir

Postby Trebor » Sat May 09, 2009 2:34 am

Soto was just dropped. I have the #2 waiver spot, pull the trigger??

Napoli is my C, who is kicking mad a$$ right now, so i guess im wondering is Soto has enuf potential to turnaround and be niiiice tradebait IF i do pull the trigger. M.Aviles is who i would drop, him or my 5th SP (usually only carry 4).

snag Soto?

or save 2 waiver for future call-up/shocking drop??

& if you say save my waiver spot, then be a budd and maybe mention what rookie u might be eyeing to snag once hes called up. thx. i promise to WHIR, and not a brainless no help Whir, i put effort into my whirs...

You need to grab Soto fast! He'll be a Top 5 catcher for a long time.

I agree, use your waiver and grab Soto.

wow, thx for replies...seems consensus i go for it.

to be honest i was sorta leaning towards not doing it...Napoli is rolling nicely & we only have 2-3 bench spots for hitters, so carrying 2 catchers would be hard. ive got until Monday to put in for him.

any more opinions? whir-whir-whir

Yeah definitely do it, he's elite and will be for the remainder of the keeper league, don't let a 5 week slump scare you out of years of production, worst case he's a trade chip for a catcher starved owner who know what soto can do but didn't have the waiver, I'd be slightly surprised if you even got him, you save waiver 1 for situations just like this when an impatient owner drops an all star

well, now im the #1 waiver...guy in front of me burned his on wandy rodriguez

we only keep 1-3 players, so doubt id keep a catcher no matter how good he is...prob Kinsler-Hamilton & maybe Upton if he ever bounces back.

man, i mean you guys are right i should take him, but he doesnt fit into my team model at all....only carry 2-3 bench spots for bats so carrying 2 catchers is near retarded. ugh, i hate the guy who dropped him...haha
