I think u should pick him up. However, it doesnt look like he will have a roster spot so you should try to trade for some SP help. Maybe trade Heyward.
I think you should pick him up as well...he has no business being on the ww. If you want him, however, you're going to have to use your claim (I'm sure one of the guys below you will). Unless you can pull a quick trade, you'll probably have to drop Matusz and then try to work a bat for pitcher trade.
Agreed with everyone here. You have to pick him up, but yes, you will have to burn your #1 waiver pick. This is just me, but I think he still has 20/20 potential for this year, so don't sleep on him. The obvious choice to drop here is Matusz and then deal for a SP as everyone has already mentioned.
just dropped matusz for jose contrarez.........i can either drop contrarez or rasmus IMO......seems as though rasmus is slowing down some...didnt he get moved down in the order one spot in favor of freese?
the the consensus here is use the number one waiver? 10 team shallow league...the last guy to use the number one waiver used it on hill
you gotta claim him, though u dont need him. your team is beyond unreal idk how u got that stacked of hitting. You could drop rasmus too if you dont wanna lose the sp

I agree I would rather drop Rasmus, he won't ever see the field on this team anyway.
I'd get Sizmore but wouldn't waste the #1 on him. Wait til he clears waivers, then if hes still there nab him.
Also I think its a dumb idea to dump Rasmus. I would instead cut ties with Bourn well before Colby. You have more then enough speed with Reyes, McCutchen, Phillips, Braun and Rasmus+Weeks, and Rasmus has the ability to flash power, Bourn doesn't. Add to the fact that Colby plays in a far superior offense compared to Bourn, who yes will swipe a bunch of bags, but isn't a .300 hitter and will struggle to score 90R this year.
Stick with the up and coming bat of Rasmus and his power/speed potential.
