Waiver claim on Crosby?

[nilodnayr]

Still 4th on the waiver priority in my 12 team league and am getting antsy to pull the trigger on a waiver claim. Bobby Crosby was dropped in my league. I currently have Rollins at short and Figgans at MI. I'd like to be able to use Figgans at CI until Shelton turns it around again. Is Crosby worth the waiver claim? If I pull the trigger now, I'll never work my way back up again. Are there any stud prospects on the relatively near horizon that I should be holding onto my spot for? I passed on Weaver and am now second guessing myself. Anyone have any insight?

I'd probably pass. Is it a keeper league? If not, Crosby isn't all that great, probably not even good. Some guys that should be coming up this year who I believe can step in and produce are: Stephen Drew, Chad Billingsley, Jon Lester, Jeremy Sowers, Anibal Sanchez, Cesar Carrillo, and some more.

I ended up passing, I very much hope Stephen Drew comes up soon. However, I expect Howie Kendrick to arrive (again) before and will probably end up using my claim on him.

I'd save it for a guy like Alex Gordon.

 

I passed on E. Encarnacion AND Huff (while playing Freel at 3b this entire time nonetheless) hopin he becomes available at some point.

Alex Gordon the 3b from the Royals system? I think I'm gonna use it on Billingsly with my two aces (Harden and Sheets) out for the forseeable future. I like the fact that they say that if Billingsly comes up, hes gonna stay up. And hopefully in the cavernous Chavez Ravine his walks wont come back to bite him. What'd you think? I actually just picked up E. Encarnacion in a trade...I really need him to come back to take Sheltons (well now Aybars) place as my CI.

Woah, Rotoauthority just called Gordon the next David Wright. I completely missed that he had 20 SB potential. If he is called up, no one in my league will know him so I wont have to use a claim. But thanks for the heads up Mark. I didnt know that they would rush him so quickly to the majors this year. Probably all depends on which tehan shows up the rest of the year.
