Yeah he's even less likely to pass through waivers now. He was coming off a back injury when we picked him up and he performed well last year. If Ramo and Berra both do well enough then I'd have no problem with them displacing MacDonald but not before then. If there's no room for MacDonald even though plays the same as last year he might even be able to be traded for a late pick instead of sending him on waivers.
