Use #2 Waiver on FIGGINS?

Postby dans2 » Sat May 29, 2010 3:16 pm

My 2b is Kinsler, but figured I could use him as trade bait to get a better pitcher.... Figgins has 2/3b eligibility, so is it worth it?

My pitching staff (which i feel needs improvement is: Greinke, Hughes, Lackey, Niemann, ESantana and Burnett..

What do you think??

Depends on the size of the league. Who would you be cutting to get Figgins. In a 12 team league with 14 offensive starters, absolutely. In an 8 team league with 9 starting players, not a chance. In between, questionable.

We need the name of the dropper to be sure, but I say take him on name value alone. So long as you're not killing waiver position for Strasborg, I should say.

I agree with Tuttle. I'd do it in almost every type of league, unless you need that waiver to grab Strasburg. Figgins won't be what he was last year, but he'll still be a top 70 player IMO, which definitely warrants a #2 waiver.

Hey guys, Strasburg is already gone.. The only person who was also dropped was Derek Holland and Kerry Wood, so their the only waivers.. most "big prospects" (Bumgarner, Strasburg, Posey) are already gone.. I would drop McLouth for him. so Do it?
