Nobody wants to dump a big-name fantasy baseball star. Along with owners fearing the move coming back to haunt them, the decision is an admission to making a mistake months ago.
Not all of these players have hurt drafters all year. A few have actually provided a positive return on investment, but a recent slump and/or injury deflated their worth entering the season’s final week.
As for the others, it’s past time to part ways. These underwhelming players haven’t performed all year, and their owners now have reasonable excuses to waive them. From health concerns to unrelenting slumps, none are in position to sway a championship matchup—at least not for the better.
It may hurt to cut the cord on a high draftee, but redraft gamers need to think exclusively in terms of the lone remaining week. These six players are expendable in standard mixed leagues.
