Which WW OF For the Stretch Run? WHIR

Postby Willy T 4 MVP » Sat Aug 22, 2009 6:13 pm

I've got a gaping hole in my outfield that I'm trying to fill off the waiver wire to give me a boost for the final 6 weeks. I'm first in steals so steals have no value for me. I just need a guy who is likely to play every day and provide decent production.

The following OF eligible hitters are available in my league. How would you rank them? Does anyone jump out as a no-brainer? I have almost no FAAB dollars left so I really have to make this pickup count.

Gerrado Parra
Mark Teahan
Gary Sheffield
Jeff Baker
Matt Diaz
Delmon Young
Nate Schierholtz
Jack Cust
Chase Headley
Ryan Church
Ty Wigginton
Delwyn Young
Trent Oletjen



As always, WHIR

Thanks for help on mine. Diaz is intriguing, but I would think Teahen is the only one with guaranteed playing time.

Plus, depending on your league rules, he has extra eligibility at 3b and maybe at 1b as well.

I'd go with Parra or Teahen. Parra seems to be hitting out of the 3 spot, but I wonder how playing time he will receive once Upton comes back. I'm not a huge fan of Teahen, but he does have good position eligibility and he seems to be the kind of player who doesn't really hurt your team.

for the stretch run i think Teahen is the only player out of that group that gets the most everyday PT. hes solidified in the KC lineup. the only other players i see that should see standard everyday PT are Cust, DelWYN Young and maybe Headley. Cust will give you pretty decent power numbers considering the team, but will kill your average, Young is pretty stable across the board, but doesn't produce too too much and Headley is just a PT possible. so between Teahen and Cust, Teahen will give you a better average, but Cust will give you more HR and RBI. your pick between the 2...

return help?...

Teahan or Scheirholtz.
I watched SF play 2 games at Coors this weekend and he looked good. Myabe just the Coors factor, but he is a pretty good OF option (guranteed PT).

i love schierholtz but i was under the impression that his PT was still sporadic. apparently bochy likes using him as a pinch hitter.

Already been said, but...

Teahen is really the only player on that list that is going to give you consistent production and playing time. It won't be much though...

Thanks for mine. Sorry, I don't have much else for you.
