What do you guys think of taking a waiver out on Chris Britton?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm excited to see Wigginton non-tendered, but it's no surprise. They've been trying to trade him and Tejada. Like San Diego, Houston's been ordered to cut payroll quite a bit. Willy Taveras and Tim Redding were non-tendered, and the Rockies and Nats talked trade about those two quite a bit lately. I bet the Rockies sign Redding and he was a name that came up quite a bit with the Cubs at the trade deadline.
The only guy out of the group of non-tendered guys I'd really be interested in taking a chance on is Scott Proctor. He was AWFUL for the Dodgers this year and just had elbow surgery, but is expected to be ready for ST. If the health reports on him are good and he's throwing in the mid 90's again, I wouldn't mind giving him a shot. He had an ERA in the 3's the previous 4 years for the Yanks and Dodgers and it would be nice having some more experience in the pen.
