week 25 waivers - Los Lonely Boy

I am in denial that the fantasy baseball season is winding down to a close; I feel like we just started this ride.  Anyways, there is only 1 waiver add this week:

3b David Wright - $7 - BySs - no drop
Wright had a shitty year, which I know because I had a front row seat for the entire thing.  But he is still a 31 year old with 298/377/494 career spilts who averages 25 HRs and 21 stolen bases per 162 games and is one of the better defensive 3bman of this generation (which, in an era with Pedro Alvarez, Pablo Sandoval, Ryan Zimmerman and Aramis Ramirez getting regular time at the 3rd sack is a bit like saying Adam Silver is the best major sports commissioner at handling hot button incidents because hes being compared to Bud Selig and the shroud of darkness where Roger Goodell's dignity used to be) .  If he were to retire today, we would lament on how his career was too short to garner significant Hall of Fame legitimacy, but remember how he was one of the most exciting players of the first 15 years of the 2000s and how he was the face of the Mets franchise when they moved into a ball park that should have been designed to his strengths (i.e. a park that would allow him to continue his run of 30+ HR, nearly .400 OBP seasons) but was actually not designed to showcase the strengths of any player they had on their roster at the time (because the fences were so far and the wind tunnel effect so great that a team that featured Wright, Gary Sheffield, Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado was led in HRs by Daniel Murphy with 12 and immediately forced a redesign of the park's dimensions).  Luckily, he wont retire today and if he can continue on for another 5 or 6 years at roughly his current pace, he should at least get in the HOF discussion before getting rejected while the Baseball Writers Association of America wags their collective finger at him Hakeem Olajuwon style saying, "Not in our house."  By picking him up so late in the season, Kyler is capturing the opportunity to keep him at a greatly reduced rate if he looks to be healthy come Spring Training...aka the opposite of what the Mets get to do.  They are on the hook for only $20,000,000 for 2015...and 2016...and 2017...and 2018 before his salary drops to $15 Million for 2019 and $12 Million for 2020.  When all is said and done, Wright will have made $192 Million for his career (if he doesnt sign another contract, which he likely wont because this one runs out when he is 38 years old)...that will probably keep him warm at night when the Hall gives him the cold shoulder.


Wife Courtney Bluhm - $Infinite Dollars - Dust Bunnies - No Drop?
Last Tuesday night, Dusty asked my sister in law (the older), Courtney, to marry him and she signed a contract to be a Dust Bunny for life.  Congrats to both Dusty and Courtney who, tentatively, will be married in June of 2016.  Getting married is great (as myself and Jim will attest).  My wife is my best friend, my drinking buddy, my getting in trouble buddy and a true partner in raising our kids.  My wish for Dusty and Court is that they have the type of relationship where they share everything (their feelings, their hopes/dreams, their fears, their responsibilities, their silliness, their post-apocolyptic prep scenarios...the usual stuff) and where they can grow together as a couple and as individuals. 

Thats it.... I believe that closes out the waiver adds for the season (though I could be wrong because I dont get how Yahoo handles the post season at all).
