Waiver pickup: Atkins or Peralta

[TeamMikeDeveraux]

Hey guys, because of trades I need to pick up a guy for my INF slot. Peralta comes off waivers tomorrow (I have the #9 waiver, so no biggie) and I was going to use my waiver on him.

Now, Garrett Atkins was dropped tonight. Should I take the chance and not use my waiver tomorrow for Peralta in hopes I can get Atkins (But then I could really get burned) or just (hopefully) get Peralta tomorrow?
Thanks! WHIR

I like Atkins over Peralta. That said, who would fill the slot now without a claim if you get neiher? The likelihood is someone is going to use a claim on Atkins imo. It might not be a top 5 pick, but 1 of the teams likey is going to use a pick to get the guy. Peralta is so bad right now he might slip through waivers in a shallow league. Then again he might not.
