Podcast: Marlon Byrd Flies the Coop
Can Marlon Byrd help end the Pirates’ playoff drought?
On this week’s episode of RotoRob Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio, RotoRob Football Editor Josh Johnson filled in for an absent Tim McLeod, and lo and behold — BTR made him Josh feel very much at home as technical issues arose. Super. We muddled through and were able to discuss a boatload of Fantasy baseball topics, including:
- The recently launched RotoRob Fantasy Football Weekly Podcast is getting some great feedback already.
- Marlon Byrd’s home run total is right on track with what we projected earlier in the season.
- RotoRob is skeptical about Matt Harvey’s ability to dodge Tommy John surgery.
- Matt Thornton got off to a nice start this year, but a reduced role has restricted his value.
- The Tigers can really put the Indians away this weekend.
- Grant Balfour suffered a rare blown save for the A’s.
- Eric Young Jr. seems to have found himself a home in New York with the Mets.
- Gio Gonzalez is having some control issues lately, but it didn’t hurt him Thursday.
- Despite a lost season, the Brewers have some exciting things going on in the second half with the play of some promising youngsters.
- Our prognostication to avoid Hiroki Kuroda this week proved prescient.
