Fantasy Baseball: April Waivers Bring May Flavors
All waiver wire team for April- guys who were probably not drafted in many leagues at all, even NL and AL only leagues. Then there's a list of guys probably skipped over in mixed league drafts. There's also a big return team- guys probably drafted but paying off big. And just for the heck of it I threw in the April All-Bust Team.

Me
AL- and NL- Only: Wigginton and Gregg and Lewis and Wells and Price. Five AL guys and no NL. My AL team 1st place. My NL team….not in last place.
Mixed: Drafted Johnson and Callaspo. CarGo and Price
Busts: Oh boy – Gordon Beckham, Teixeira and Edwin Jackson.
Players you missed: Jason Bay Bust, Colby Rasmus Breakout
others
I was teetering between ARod and Arimas Ramirez at 3b but figured most leagues had ARod going in the first round, so despite his better stats than ARam, ARod got the nod. Outfielders have been a mess. Lots of chokers thus far-
Nate McLouth, Grady Sizemore, Melky Cabrera, Raul Ibanez, Hunter Pence. And you are right about Jason Bay as well. Colby has been a nice break out- Jon Jay looks a little over matched thus far so I don’t see Colby losing any ab’s to a crowded OF in StL.
