Use my #1 priority on Ackley, or save it?

Postby WaCougMBS » Wed Jun 17, 2009 2:26 pm

Hey guys - I have a question about a pickup concerning Dustin Ackley...

The way my league works, during the season you can put a claim in for anyone at any level of the minors (even guys who were just drafted), and we go off the ww priority, adjusting manually when needed. Strasburg already went to the guy with the #1 priority, but after a few other pickups by other people, I have the #1 pick and there is a claim up for Ackley (ends at roughly 9 .m. tonight). Do you think there will be anyone more pickup-worthy between now and the end of the year, or should I put in my claim on Ackley now? My roster and league info are below, and thanks in advance! WHIR as always ;-D

Thanks for the input man! I'm leaning towards doing it too...

Any other thoughts?
