Starlin Castro Cubs SS HR in first AB...Yahoo???

When will Yahoo add Starlin Castro to the free agent list if he was brought up today from minors? 3 run shot in first career at bat.

wondering if he is worth using a #1 waiver in a keeper league....only 20 yrs old but doesn't look afraid to be a big leaguer!

I'm probably going to try and use my #2 waiver on him. I'm a little weak at that position though.

I'm sure they'll add him tonight, like they do every guy that's called up and not in the system yet.

Yeah...I am wondering the same thing.

Yahoo should add him tomorrow or the next day...I assume?

I am in a Keeper League, and I have the #1 Waiver. The thing is...I already have T.Tulowitzki and A.Gonzalez at Shortstop.

Castro has very little power, but he should hit for a good average and get some steals...along with a good amount of Runs and possibly Rbi's...plus Total Bases.

I am heavily leaning on using my Waiver on him. He is only 20 years old.

Not planning on using my waiver on him, but if he clears do you drop him for Erick Aybar?

I picked him up as a free agent in my ESPN league because I was weak there, and dropped Alcides for him. If you're in a keeper, I'd definitely use a high waiver on him.

I am in a keeper league and once passed on Hanley thinking he was overhyped by the Red Sox.

Not saying that Starlin will be Hanley or even close, but having a good hitter at SS is rare enough that I'm spending my #1 waiver in a keeper league on him even though I am set at SS. Just in case.
