My first priority waiver would be spent on Keller..not Meier.
So yesterday Meier was dropped, I'm all ready to use my 1st wavier to claim him. Then today, another manager dropped Kovalchuk, Keller, and Morrissey since they aren't performing... this is a money league, banger league (see sig).
Either way.. now I'm torn on who to pick up with the 1st!
I still think I should drop Polak for Meier with the 1st, and Martinez for one of Keller / Kovalchuk / Morrissey. I highly doubt any of them will past waiver but still worth a shot.
Am I right choosing Meier over these guys?

Yes. Meier and don't look back.
Keller is great too but I thought Meier will be better given the hits and blocks he sometimes chip in.
Meier will clear waiver a day before the rest of the group. What's the ceiling for Keller & Meier this season?

You basically answered your own question: in a banger league you have to take Meier over Keller. Even if Keller gets you 5 or 10 pts more, you'll still get way more out of Meier given all the additional hits, etc.

ok..i did some player stats comparisons (and saw this was a one year league)
i knew Meier was a better hit/blk guy but did realize the gap starting to widen, as well much to my surprise TM is a better point producer.
so i'll eat the crow and say your selection of TM is a good one..
