You can't expect a global change in waiver evaluation ie just claim more to be useful because it is very much a team and/or organization specific decision. Some of these decisions conflict with each other especially if the 40-man roster is full. Increasing waiver claims aggressiveness is very likely to result in other good players being released and start a cycle of waivers/claim/waivers/claims which may make the problem worse.

I'm trying to understand how the collection of ratings named Eckersley is so good that he ended up on waivers in the first place. That suggests to me that the problem is not the AI bypassing good players on waivers but more of the AI putting good players on waivers. A very different problem.

You say he should be snapped up by good contending teams? Is it clear that they have holes in their pitching and that he is better? Who would they put on waivers or demote? What about salary? What if an AI team claimed Eck and demoted some 23 year old SP with 10 wins? I'd prefer Eck in the minors.

Is the team waiving Eckersley good or bad?

Can you post some screen shots. Just how many good players are being waived?
