Poz, McClain, or Foster

There are three MLB that turned up on the wire in my league this weekend-

Paul Posluszny, Rolando McClain, and Mason Foster.

The first two were late drops before last Sunday's game, while Foster has the most points through two games. I've worked my way up to 5th position in the waiver priority, and am pondering cashing it in for one of these guys, or else waiting until claims process and see if I can snag one when they hit free agency.

It's a 14 team league, and the IDP side of things is 3 LB, 2 DL, 2 DB. I already have Ray Lewis, Donald Butler, and Colin McCarthy, whom is obviously injured. I have one empty bench spot, which I'd like to use on one of these linebackers. Any suggestions on who the best choice would be? Would anyone dump McCarthy (or Butler) for two or all three of these guys on waivers? And is the difference between the three small enough that I should just wait to see who clears waivers, and then be happy with the discount?

My league settings are as follows:
Tackle Solo: 1
Tackle Assist: 0.5
Sack: 5
Interception: 6
Fumble Force: 3
Fumble Recovery: 3
Defensive Touchdown: 10
Safety: 5
Pass Defended: 3
Block Kick: 5
Tackles for Loss: 2
Turnover Return Yards: 20/ypp

Re: Poz, McClain, or Foster

I think Posluszny is the safest of the group. If you are risk averse, go with him. Otherwise, I like Foster or McClain. There isn't a ton of difference between Poz and Foster though, so it may pay to wait until after waivers.
