Is Furcal worth my number #1 priority?..WHIR..

Postby AshesOfEmpires » Fri May 15, 2009 11:02 am

As you can see, I already have Jimmy Rollins. We use two utility spots though, so I'm sure I can work him in there. I would be dropping Kendrick or Jackson most likely. Any thoughts?

hmm...I feel Rollins will turn it around for the most part, so I wouldn't burn #1 WW on a shortstop quite yet, even though Furcal is very good. However, if you're craving runs and speed, then Furcal could be worth the investment (why was he even dropped?). Who else do you envision hitting the waiver wire? If there's not much chance of another very good player slipping through the cracks, then grab Furcal (Strasburg, Gamel, Reimold, etc. could all reach the majors this year).

Which SP do you like? viewtopic.php?t=385190

No don't use the #1 waiver on Furcal. Rollins got dropped to 5th, bounced back and got moved back to leadoff hitter. Stick with JRoll.

Your are better off sticking with Rollins and saving your #1 waiver for later in the season.

Please help me!
