Podcast: Bullpen Free Agent Frenzy

RotoRob was once again joined by NFL Writer Vaney Hariri on this week’s episode of RotoRob Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST. We managed to avoid Red Sox-Yankees fisticuffs, we discovered Vaney’s hatred of sports goggles and we managed to talk about plenty of Fantasy baseball related thingies, such as:
- John Axford is going to get another chance to close, this time in Cleveland.
- The trend to giving decent contracts to reclamation projects seems to be picking up.
- Ronald Belisario has a clear path to a top set-up job — and maybe even the closing gig — for the Pale Hose.
- Vaney tries to explain how deep his hatred of sports goggles burns. The Chris Sabo Fan Club is not impressed.
- Yankee fan Vaney concedes that Jacoby Ellsbury was overpaid, but not by much.
- RotoRob bursts the bubble that the Yankees weren’t already transitioning from being a power hitting team last season given that only one player hit as many as 18 jacks.
- In 2012, Jason Kubel was in some rare company with his power. What in the hell happened since then?
- Vaney and RotoRob disagree on Josh Outman’s value as RotoRob thinks Outman’s days as a starter are over.
- Drew Stubbs has the potential to combine for 50 homers and steals, which puts him in rare company.
- Vaney makes a public plea asking Alex Rodriguez to retire.
