Looking back at my last 7 waiver "successes":

Carson Norton (1 claim) - Slight improvement over the stagnating Iván Salgado.

Charlie Sheppard (25 claims) Top of the cut list. Unlikely to last the year.

Mateo Robledo (1 claim) Dropped a couple days later.

Christian Cox (1 claim) Dropped and then resigned as a FA.

César Parra (1 claim) - Underdeveloped experiment. Dropped after 1 year.

Tomoki Nishimura (9 claims) - dropped same day he was claimed.

Tim Wright (1 claims) - still might make the cut. But near the top of the cut list.

LOL, maybe I should just be signing FAs. Most of these guys only had 1 claim :)

I almost contested you on Cox. His age didn't fit into my succession quite right.

My recent waiver history is similar. This season's big league additions are both 1 claime-ers. All my big league additions last season were free agents. I won a couple (moderately high claim) middling prospects this off-season. Before that, my last 3 external prospects were all free agent signings.

But that's the short view. A couple seasons back Dinos wooed Larsen. A couple seasons before that it was Gamez. All in all, waivers has treated me well.

Yep... Ended up dropping Sheppard. My only recent acquisition with more than 10 claims. It was between him and dropping Cox again. But I decided Norton's BC was a bigger liability than Cox's 12 POT / "good potential" rating. Hopefully I don't regret it later :) A "very good" player is more likely to be under-scouted than a "good" player...
