After a couple of weeks off because of March Madness, we were back in action this week on RotoRob Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio. This week, MLB Writer Josh Johnson joined RotoRob, and other than some freaky crank calls, things went brilliantly for our first Podcast since the 2014 MLB regular season got underway.

Not only has he finally stayed completely healthy, but his outside game has really matured. Unfortunately, that’s come at a cost as he’s not getting to the line as often. Wall’s modest block numbers have also dipped, but with a career high in both points and dimes, he’s finally emerged as an elite point guard. It took him until season No. 4, but the speedster is finally going to taste postseason play.

Now the early odds have been put out by bookmakers and there is at least some consolation for Seattle in that it has been installed as favourites to win it again. Some of the online bookies are offering just 6/1 on Seattle, and this no doubt means lots of American football betting fans will be rushing to place their Seahawks bets, but they are far from the only side in the running, if the odds are to be believed.

Beyond Quentin, the Padres have more than their share of injuries to start the season, which makes those dark horse predictions a bit tough to swallow. There’s no doubt that even with their modest US$89 million payroll, the Padres have a chance to flirt with .500 or perhaps even surprise with 85 or so wins this season, but should they fall into a hole early, it’s going to be too difficult to sneak up on anyone.

All told, Edwards racked up a whopping 155 strikeouts in 116 1/3 IP. Part of a suddenly exciting cadre of young Cubs’ talent getting ready to descend upon the majors, he needs to add weight if he’s going to have the durability to last as a starter, but we still like him a bit more than some prospect experts. We love that Edwards has a nice groundball rate, as that will stead him well as he moves up the ladder and is unable to blow the ball by more advanced hitters as often. Obviously, he can’t be fully judged until he fills out, but we will learn a lot more about this kid this year when he tackles Double-A. Still, so far he looks like a serious steal considering the Rangers nabbed the righty in the 48th round in 2011.

As if the Bruins didn’t have enough talent, rookie Soderberg is coming into his own with a point per game over the last five, including two goals and two assists in his last two heading into Sunday. The Swede is not a kid, but with 15 goals and 30 assists through 66 games, he’s making a very nice adjustment in his first full NHL season. Note that three of Soderberg’s last five points have come on the power play as he’s been seeing more time with the man advantage.

If you’re in the market for rebounds and blocks, Dalembert can be of assistance. Not known for Fantasy consistency, he has been productive lately with the Mavs in a battle for a Western Conference playoff spot.
