What's on the Waiver Wire?

- Use this thread to discuss trends you've noticed on the waiver wire / players that should be picked up.

Given that I'm an owner of these three guys I'm going to throw them all out there:
1. Carlos Delfino (owned in 6% of leagues) - There are some concern Maggette is going to cut into his production... But newsflash: Maggette isn't starting, Maggette is always injured, AND even if Maggette is healthy there's plenty of minutes to go around for the trio of Salmons - Delfino - Maggette (if Delfino and Salmons for example were to average the same amount of minutes they did last year, 31 and 37, there would still be 28 minutes of free playing time left at the backup 2 and 3 spots. Coupling that with the fact that the Bucks aren't particularly strong at PF and Maggette has shown he's capable of playing there and barring a fallout with Scott Skiles none of the aforementioned players are going to see a serious squeeze on their MPG this year).
2. Mike Dunleavy (owned in 8% of leagues) - This pick is admittedly a bit of a stretch but Dunleavy is just 2 years removed from a 19 (PTS) - 5 (REB)- 4 (AST) - 2 (3PTM) - 1 (STL). While I wouldn't expect a carbon copy repeat of those numbers (expect less but similar efficiency), Dunleavy is finally starting the season healthy again and is a favorite of Pacers' coach Jim O'brein. At the very least Dunleavy deserves to be owned more than the likes of Corey Brewer and Courtney Lee.
3. Beno Udrih (owned in 32% of leagues) - Beno absolutely balled out as a starter for the Kings last year, I'm talking 15 PPG, 6 APG, 1 3PTM, 1.4 SPG even if he regresses to his starter statistics of 2008-2009 of 11 PPG, 5 APG, 1 3PTM, 1.1 SPG given his efficiency from the floor (in excess of 45% career FG% as a starter) that's great late round value right there.
