Post Potential Waiver Wire Players Here

[questionmarkgrace]

Rules: post one potential waiver wire player with a description and potential destination.

 

 

 

Adam Dunn, LF Reds

 

Surprised he didnt get moved at the 31st deadline. Most people believe hes not in the future for the Reds. The fact is he is a butcher in the field. However he still has an ops over .900 32 dingers and 74 rbi's and hes actually picked up his terrible average ten points in his last ten games. so he still has quite a bit of value for the right team. A move to the american league is obvious and the rays were known to be interested but couldnt get a deal worked out in time. Potential destination: Rays. Takes over as DH and makes a dangerous team even better.

 

 

Now your turn. :thumbsup:

Scott Eyre, LHRP Cubs-destination-Red Sox

They wanted a lefty for the pen, and the great Will Ohman was their target, but Atlanta decided to keep him. They were targeting Eyre as a fll back, as were the Yankees.

No chance Adam Dunn clears waivers.

No chance Adam Dunn clears waivers.

 

My thoughts exactly on Dunn. There are a number of teams that would claim him with no intent of dealing for him. I can't see a team like the Brewers, Cardinals, or Cubs letting him slip by without grabbing him. The Dodgers and Dbacks likely would put in a claim as well. And that's just the NL.

 

My guess is that Jarrod Washburn clears waivers and ends up with the Yankees. Most teams are not going to want that contract, so he likely clears waivers. The Yankees still need pitching, so Washburn likely ends up there.

 

Andruw Jones will clear waivers, but no one will trade for him.

Jason Marquis will clear waivers. If a contending team loses a starter to injury, he may be a target. Edited August 2, 2008 by SouthSideRyan

Paul Byrd could be a guy who ends up with a team like the Cardinals or the Phillies...
