Return to Draft, Trade, Keeper and Waivers Questions

A guy in my league dropped Stephen Strasburg. I have a pretty good waiver priority so should I take him? I have a feeling he'll be a Tommy Hanson of 09 type of guy. What are you opinions though?
If I do grab him, who to drop from my bench?
Nyjer Morgan
Chris Davis
Alcides Escobar
Clay Bucholz
Brian Matusz
Jonathan Sanchez

Why not try and do a 2 for 1 trade with someone if you are really intent on picking up Strasburg. Instead of cutting Sanchez just package him with one of your other bench players for a slight upgrade and then grab Strasburg.

The subtle answer in the last post is: if you can't swing a 2-for-1, which I agree is a good idea, then Sanchez is the one to drop and, yes, do it. The only other person I'd even consider dropping is Matusz...

Definitely grab him, if not only for the fact that he'd probably fetch nice value in a trade. Unless you have the #1 WW priority, my guess is you won't get him. That said, I'd drop Morgan. I just don't like him, since his value is tied to a high babip and his average could drop very easily. I like all of your other guys; don't consider dropping Buchholz or Matusz at all.
Please help:
