Sandy Alcantara could be the first ace for the Miami Marlins since Jose Fernandez.

The Wire Troll: Sandy Alcantara Surfacing as New Marlin Ace

Continuing our theme of young hurlers that really impressed in their first starts of the season, how about Fried? All he did was limit the Cubs to one measly hit over six innings while fanning five without a walk on Thursday. That outing earned Fried a repeat engagement in the Braves’ rotation, although given that it’ll be in Colorado, you may not want him active. He made a few starts for Atlanta last year, but mostly pitched out of the bullpen, and after a couple of relief outings to begin this season, he sure looked like he wanted to stick as a starter. If Fried can be anywhere near as phenomenal going forward, he could wind up being a real steal.

The Wire Troll: Zdeno Chara Still Relevant

Among the most popular — and certainly oldest — players in the league, Chara continues to prove Fantasy worthy despite having just turned 42. He has a goal and two assists over the last three games, and since March 14, he’s tied for the league lead at +10. In fact, after a slow start, Chara went +9 in February and is +11 so far in March. He’s only scored five goals — his fewest since 2000-01, but continues to be a real asset in +/- and he still has that amazing reach that makes him such an effective shutdown defender. Small wonder the Bruins gave just Chara a one-year extension.

Blu-ray Review: The Mule

With all the “road trips” Earl embarks on, The Mule gets to show off a lot of pretty scenery and offer a taste of what driving across America is like, which is something we always find appealing. There’s also a leisurely pace to everything, and as long as you don’t go in looking for action (there’s almost none) it can be rather enjoyable.

2019 RotoRob Top 90 Fantasy Baseball Prospects

This season, we’ve slipped to 41 returnees from our 2018 rankings (two fewer than last year), and the number of players graduating to the bigs from last year’s Top 85 prospects also dipped a tad (down two to 22). A whopping nine more prospects (22) fell off the list this year, suggesting that as we expand the list, the chances of swinging and missing increases.
