After handing @Travis7401 his ass for incorrectly calling me out on not having the HUNGER GAME spirit last season it got me thinking - we should have a "Cody Ross Waiver Wire Warrior" award each season. Originally I had planned to play my HG guy (Jean Andre) as a super utility guy but then my ol' buddy @Mr. Radpants put Ryley "Terminator" Cutwolf on the waiver wire and he quickly split time misplaying grounders at both SS and 2B. Even with his Derek Jeter "Gold Glove"/Dan Uggla "Don't hit to me" defense he managed to put up +2.5 WAR and finished second in the JV New Wizard Award voting.
Obviously the MAAAAnAAAAtees were playing for draft position last season so I don't think Terminator is a good inaugural winner but I'd like to hear from others on their Waiver Wire Warriors. Is there a way to make this an award in OOTP or would this be something we'd have to do on our own? Regardless, I'd really like to hear about your Waiver Wire successes or failures.
As an aside, because of an issue with the Linux version of OOTP16 guys were put on the Waiver Wire instead of their respective level so, if you can find it in your heart, don't claim these guys. @ZackMills has claimed Harry Littler, which is fine since he was demanding to be released, but the other guys were not supposed to be placed on waivers.
