5th waiver

I have the fifth waiver and I was wondering if I should use it on Adenhart. It's H2H, Dynasty (keep all 25). How would you rank the best rooks coming up this year that arent already on the yahoo database? Basically, should I grab Adenhart or maybe wait for...

Never been a fan. I am getting the feeling he will be one of those pitchers that performs well in the minors but not at the next level. Basically a tease.

Lind
Weiters
Kershaw
Volstad
Adenhart

i think adenhart will be good long term, but probably not spectacular, and probably not too much use this year. i'd hold out for some of the hitters that are liable to come up later on, although i don't offhand have a list of who is or isn't in the yahoo DB already. (we know rasmus, bruce etc. all are.)

on the other hand, there isn't really a spectacular slate of prospects scheduled to come up this year, especially after you delete bruce and rasmus. and some of the better ones (i'm thinking of laporta) might not come up at all on account of being blocked.

still, i like adenhart as a prospect but he's just not a guy i'm dropping my pants for waiver-position wise.

i'd mostly hope one of the four guys in front of you bites on him.

ah, wieters. yes. that's a good one, definitely above adenhart. again, though, not 100% sure to come up. probably will in september though. and that's the class of guy you want to wait for as long as you're this close to the top.

so wieters, kershaw... hmm. maybe David Price, if this elbow thing doesn't destroy him. maybe laporta.

lind's already in the DB.

there'll probably be 5 better than adenhart, anyway.
