On this week’s episode of RotoRob Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio, RotoRob NBA Writer Bob Raymond co-hosted, performing admirably in his debut as we discussed a host of stories on the first official day of Spring Training.

Among the issues we tackled were:

• Can Canada win hockey Gold again at the Olympics?
• Building Bob’s fan base by trying to finally get him on Facebook!
• How much pressure Masahiro Tanaka will be under.
• Bob hacked into RotoRob’s computer to steal his show notes.
• We ponder how much upside remains in Michael Brantley’s game.
• RotoRob rants about the closer prototype.
• Will Yeonis Cespedes shake his injury-prone label?
• Which Cuban do you want this year: Cespedes, Yasiel Puig or Jose Abreu?
• We speculate on the 2014 chances of one of the top prospects in the game in Archie Bradley.
• We review some of the upcoming arbitration hearings.
• RotoRob likes what the Cubs are doing by adding some inexpensive arms.

Bass is certainly not known for statistical “consistency,” but he’s worth considering now that he has regained a spot in the Celtics starting unit. Two of his last three games have been solid, so Fantasy teams in need of points, rebounds and some blocks should take notice. more

Waiters was the fourth overall pick in the 2012 draft and is finally starting to show the offensive consistency that he hinted at in the Summer League. He has scored 21 points in each of his last two games, totaling five treys and four steals in the two games. Slowly but surely Waiters has improved his passing skills leading to increased assist totals. more

Stuckey started the season on fire then was victimized by a nagging shoulder ailment that affected his production. Now fully healthy, he is lighting up the scoreboard as the Pistons’ “instant offense” off the bench. Over his last five contests, Stuckey is averaging 20 points and shooting over 50 per cent from the field. At 31 per cent ownership (ESPN leagues), he is definitely a bargain. more

Johnson, the former Syracuse standout and Timberwolves lottery pick, has been on a tear, averaging 15 points (including two treys), five rebounds and 1.3 steals during his last six games. He has played over 30 minutes in each and ranks as the top waiver wire pickup at present. more
