Jason Kubel hit the DL and Ross has been activated. We were a bit surprised to see Ross owned in so few leagues. He’s coming off a very solid 22-homer, 81-RBI season with the BoSox and should be a good source of power over the balance of 2013.

He’s earning minutes because of his defensive prowess, but he flashed a little something something offensively on Wednesday as well, dropping 17 points with 10 boards for his third double-double of the season as the Suns ended Dallas’ streak of 12 straight playoff appearances. Tucker is showing a nice shooting touch lately and he even canned three treys in his last game — a real rarity from him, but something worth rolling the dice on for the final week.

After a three-week hiatus thanks to March Madness and tickets to the Philadelphia Flyers game, we were back with another episode of RotoRob’s Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio. With the regular season underway, we were itching to get going and there was no lack of stories to analyze. Hell, we even had a guest as Tim Heaney popped in for a few minutes towards the end of our show.

Actions outside of combat presented even more issues. Quick time events, which do not tell you which button to press (I still have no clue what to press when rockets come after me in mid-air), stealth sections with wonky controls and awkwardly climbing up walls combine to make the shorter, non-combat sections a chore.

Despite this being just its third game, The Behemoth already possesses a very distinct (and instantly recognizable) art style, which is on full display here. Characters and levels are simplistic yet teeming with personality and a cheerful colour palette. There’s also plenty of the developer’s signature charm with square pigs to ride and frogs turned time bombs… oh, and poop, too. The story advancing cut scenes are very clever as well, offering up a cool take on the game’s theatrical premise.

Kratos’ primary tool of destruction is once again the Blades of Chaos, though this time you’re able to imbue the blades with one of four powers: fire, lightning, ice and undead. Each element is upgradable via red orbs (as are the blades themselves) with additional combos, damage and magic becoming available. Unlock past games, and there are no supplementary weapons to acquire. Instead, you can find temporary weapons in the environments that degrade, and eventually break, with continued use.

Now may be the time to pounce while his value keeps going upward. Boedker’s 24 points in 38 games may not sound like all that much but with five points in his last five games, he is finally starting to put it together — and at a crucial time. Each team has about three games a week from here on out and at a 25-to-30 per cent ownership rate, here is a player that could help your team.
