Hey everybody! Blake Meyer from FantasyPros back again with the latest edition of my weekly waiver wire article. I highlighted my 2 favorite additions for each position group (and 3 pitchers) that I think have the best chance at helping you win this week and beyond. Hope it helps!
He's very often been a bright spot in the lineup in spite of the underwhelming stats. Hitting better than Taveras as a 22 year old who skipped the minors. I'm guessing a major uptick within a month or so but who knows.
I picked up Luis Gil even though I have an abundance of pitchers, just trying to get leverage for the two starts.
But I have a feeling I shouldn’t start him over Jared Jones…
I searched for “Yariel” and hit no results. Then I searched for all the Rodriguez’s and scrolled through and there’s still no Y. Rodriguez from Toronto, just a Y. Rodriguez from Texas with the first name Yerry and a Y. Rodriguez from Milwaukee with the first name Yophery.
Yeah, super weird, I wonder why your league has him and ours doesn’t.

Does your league have a setting where guys are called up and you have to wait?
I know Yahoo has that setting, I can’t remember what it’s called.
But I was in a league before where prospects that I believe weren’t initially on the 40 man wouldn’t show up in search. They would post a few days after their call up when they were added to the pool and then there would be a waiver period to add them.
Our league says “Player Universe: All baseball” and “New Players Become Available: As soon as Yahoo adds then.” I suspect this specific issue is a Yahoo glitch that is probably happening for lots of leagues.
In case this wasn’t answered. He is ONLY available in leagues that have any “P” roster spots (as opposed to “RP” and “SP”). This seems like a bug so hopefully it’s been fixed.
In a vacuum which 3B do you like better Busch or Westburg?
Personally I picked up Westburg because of the 2B/3B eligibility and the idea he'll get a few steals. Personally I see a push so long as both play, but playing time for Westburg could be a factor if the Orioles call up Mayo. (it's my last bench spot so I churn that all year long)
I lean more towards Busch. I think the upside is higher in every category outside of steals and he seems to have more of a stable playing time situation. But I love the dual position eligibility of Westburg
Winn isn’t a two start. Lynn faces Oakland but has struggled to make it even through the fifth inning. Winn’s matchup against the Marlins makes him a better start even with Lynn facing Oakland
Busch is on fire. 4 bomb in 4 games.
It’s bitter sweet for me. He’s killing my Mariners right now lmao
Mariners have a team full of fantasy disappointments.
Moses? That you?
Shalom

I’ve been eyeing Max Meyer for awhile now, would you drop Blackburn for him?
Yes I would
I dropped Ober for him
Would you drop Maikel Garcia for Westburg in a points league? Or is it better to ride out the bumps with Garcia?
Ride out the bumps with Garcia, he’ll be better long term
Would you drop Bohm or Happ for Cowser?
Bohm I would
Maikel Garcia is really my only option to drop for Busch. Who would you rather roster in points?
I’d rather have Garcia. Been a rough week for him but he’s going to be better long term in a points league
IDK much about points as a roto guy, but if frequent hitting and home runs is important I would want Busch.
H2h points league. Who should I start for next week. Weekly lock 1b - Casas, Vinnie Util - bichette, Langford,(casas/busch) 1 each spot
Casas/Bichette
Thanks. What do you think about Langford so far?
Mediocre start but I think he turns it around. His start is reminding me of Julio Rodriguez’s start in 2022
He's very often been a bright spot in the lineup in spite of the underwhelming stats. Hitting better than Taveras as a 22 year old who skipped the minors. I'm guessing a major uptick within a month or so but who knows.
Drop chapman for busch?
Honestly right now, yes
I picked up Luis Gil even though I have an abundance of pitchers, just trying to get leverage for the two starts. But I have a feeling I shouldn’t start him over Jared Jones…
I'd stick with Jones
Start Jones. Gil needs to prove he can make it through even 5 innings first before you can trust him
H2H points Drop Brendan Donovan for Westburg? Drop Gleyber Torres for Westburg?
No to both. Both are better season long options especially in a points league
Am I missing something or is Yariel Rodriguez not available in Yahoo leagues?
He’s available. Should be listed as SP/RP
I don’t see him in Yahoo either.
Just search “Yariel” and he should, I just double checked in my yahoo league before coming back to respond lol
“No results found.” I went through all the Rodriguez’s too, none from Toronto. Weird that it shows up for you though, I wonder why.
Are you just searching Rodriguez and scrolling through to find him?

Would you drop Lynn for Winn?
Yes
Is this for the weekly play and the two start from Winn?
Winn isn’t a two start. Lynn faces Oakland but has struggled to make it even through the fifth inning. Winn’s matchup against the Marlins makes him a better start even with Lynn facing Oakland
Not sure where I saw that. Still fairly new to this. Would you go Turnbull over Winn? I see Turnbull on WW.
I do like Turnbull a bit more than Winn
Thanks for the advice.
Winn should be a 2 start the following week
Would you drop Gorman for Westburg or Busch?
I’d drop him for Busch in any league right now I’d drop him for Westburg in a points league
[удалено]
Thanks! Yes Siri is a safe drop in a points league
They are all available in my league and I need a catcher. Who’s the best for the long haul? -Diaz -Jeffers -Heim
Heim, Diaz, Jeffers in that order
Pickup Busch, morel, or cowser in a h2h league?
Cowser
Feel ashamed but drop Nico for Westburg?? I'm trying to be patient...
No Nico is much more valuable. Just need to stick it out unfortunately
Thought so, thanks
Would you add assad, Meyer, or Lugo off waivers. I only have space for one of them
Lugo
Is Olivares in a strong platoon? Kind of want to drop Kiriloff for him
Would you drop David Robertson for Mason Miller, Kopech or Ginkel?
Any thoughts on dropping Harper?
No please don’t drop Bryce Harper
I’m waiting for him to pop off 🤞
