The Wire Troll: Carlos Ruiz Rolling
Arcia got off to a slow start and lingering wrist issues sent him to the DL after just 18 at-bats. The 22-year-old is now rehabbing at Triple-A Rochester with a return just around the corner. Give him a week to knock the rust off and hopefully he’ll return to his rookie form of last year (14 homers in 351 at-bats).

2014 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit: Top 65 Prospects, Part III
Odorizzi has had trouble against lefties, so bear this in mind when he faces a team that leans in that direction. Originally taken 32nd overall by Milwaukee in 2008, he’s been very durable in his career (and could remain as such thanks to a very smooth, easy delivery) and hasn’t shown any alarming weaknesses, but has periodically had issues with the long ball.

Hyun-Jin Ryu Seeks Revenge Against Giants
Hyun-Jin Ryu is hoping for better results against the Giants Thursday. (Nostraballus.wordpress.com) Back in January, when we slotted Los Angeles Dodgers lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu 20th in our Starting Pitcher Rankings, we wondered what kind of adjustments the league would make against him after his fine “rookie” season (as always, we balk at calling a player
