This week on RotoRob Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio, RotoRob was joined by The Fantasy Insiders’ Joel Henard, back for a second appearance after making his debut on our Podcast last month. Unfortunately, RotoRob kept getting kicked off, but Joel has a legitimate radio cave, so basically, he can survive a direct hit from an ICBM and keep broadcasting.

Clearly, Ludwick did not take kindly to being designated to a part-time role. That could change given his torrid June, in which he has gone 11-for-28 (.393) with two homers, including a 4-for-5 showing Sunday. Keep an eye on the proud veteran’s playing time because if Ludwick gets back to playing every day, his numbers could sneak up on you — or at least the 0.3 per cent of people that own him in ESPN leagues and eight per cent that have him in CBS leagues.

The big concern is whether he can he keep the free passes to a minimum. At Triple-A Colorado Springs, Matzek walked 31 batters in 66 2/3 IP (which is actually a massive improvement for him already). If he can keep the walks down he has the potential to be a solid asset for both the Rockies and your Fantasy squad.

Polanco has recently shifted from CF to RF, so yes, we suppose he needed a bit of time to adjust to that. Still, adding Polanco is the kind of move that could spur a turnaround and get the Buccos right back in the playoff chase. Last year, he was extremely productive at High-A, forcing a promotion to Double-A and even a two-game stint at Triple-A. This year, Polanco has already surpassed his homer output from Double-A, while racking up a ridiculous 86 hits in his first 62 games. Signed out of the Dominican in 2010, he’s got tremendous speed (130 steals in 408 minor league games) and the athleticism to become a serious star.

He is unowned in ESPN leagues and owned by 1 per cent of CBS leagues, but the man whose name translates to Greg White in English has actually been remarkable in his full outings. Blanco has five multi-hit games in his last six starts, and is 14 for his last 31 overall (.452), with a respectable OPS of 688 for the season and six stolen bases. Fantasy owners in need of a quick fix in the outfield should stay thirsty for his services.

Surprisingly, the Twins have signed the former Mariner to a pro-rated one-year $12-million deal. Who saw this one coming? Morales’ ownership levels are currently at 46 per cent in CBS and 16 per cent in ESPN, so there still is an opportunity to grab some solid power numbers for the second half. If he’s available in your league he should be the top FAAB priority this week.
