2012 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit: Shortstop Rankings

And because it’s so hard to find a stud shortstop, he’s easily a top 10 pick in all formats. In fact, he’ll likely go in the top five of almost every draft. Thirty dingers, 100 RBI and a .300 BA out of your shortstop? Sign me up for some of that. I’m also very bullish on the batting eye improvements Tulowitzki made last year. The Rox will have another fine offensive lineup this year, and Tulo will be a huge reason why.

The Wire Troll: C.J. Watson’s Got Derrick Rose’s Back

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

Watson has started two of the past three games for Rose, and has seen a general uptick in minutes thanks to Rose’s condition – and the fact that even when Rose has been healthy, the Bulls have been blowing out opponents, giving extra PT to all the bench players. In 25 minutes of action Friday, Watson shot it decently (3-for-7), but put some nice peripherals with five assists, four steals and three boards. On Monday, he came through with a double-double, his first since he was a Warrior. Rose remains day-to-day, giving Watson a small window to put up big numbers.

MLB Today: Daniel Murphy Working on D

Will he immediately reassume his role as the team’s ace? That’s hard to say, because pitchers recovering from Tommy John surgery generally take 12-to-18 months to fully bounce back, so while Wainwright is on schedule to return this spring, how long will it take him to completely recover his velocity, command and feel of his pitches? That remains an unknown, but it’s obvious the Cardinals are bullish on a full and speedy recover, picking up both his 2012 and 2013 options right after the World Series.

The Wire Troll: Jerryd Bayless Starting Again For Raptors

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

Bayless has started three of the past four games at the two, and had scored at least 14 points per game in four straight before sinking just 1-of-6 for three points on Friday. Still, the minutes were there (28), and I expect the production to follow. He’s been jacking up more treys this season and draining them at an impressive 40 per cent rate, so if Bayless maintains this starting role and keeps getting 25+ MPG, he’s going to help you.
