• Podcast: Hot Corner Dilemmas
  on Mar 22, 2013 in BASEBALL RotoRob RotoRob's Fantasy Baseball Weekly Tim McLeod
  This week, there was a new twist on RotoRob's Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast (heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST): RotoRob was MIA. Well, he wasn't really missing. He was sitting on his ass watching March Madness, which takes precedence over everyth...
• Video Game Review: MUD – FIM Motocross World Championship
  on Mar 21, 2013 in Casey Curran Video Game Reviews
  All I can say for the graphics is that they deliver on the title. This is a very brown game, with tracks that -- despite their different layouts -- mostly ended up feeling the same when you're actually racing through them. Outside of that there was n...
• MLB Today: Scott Baker Suffers Setback
  on Mar 20, 2013 in BASEBALL Injuries MLB Today RotoRob
  The right-hander's recovery from Tommy John surgery was expected to be complete by mid-April, but that's not going to happen now after the team shut him down indefinitely on Tuesday. This is just an article tease. Visit RotoRob.com for full articles...

• Casey Kotchman: 2013 Season Preview
  on Mar 18, 2013 in BASEBALL Player profile RotoRob
  As if being a non-roster invitee wasn't bad enough for Kotchman, a lacerated finger kept him out for the first few days of Spring Training action, but oh man, what a nice first impression he made when he slugged a grand salami in his first at-bat wit...
• The Wire Troll: Salvation From the Fantasy Blues
  on Mar 17, 2013 in Chris Wassel HOCKEY The Wire Troll Andrew Cogliano Lee Stempniak Vladimir Tarasenko
  Wow, it really is time to start handing out handkerchiefs to those Fantasy owners who are just crying over spilled milk. All is not lost just yet. Also there is no crying in hockey! None! Every week I keep hearing the same thing: "I have all these in...
• The Wire Troll: A MarShon Brooks Sighting
  on Mar 16, 2013 in BASKETBALL RotoRob The Wire Troll Portland Trail Blazers
  That kind of effort is going to earn him decent PT going forward, making him a nice low-end option. There's a chance the Nets will try to deal Brooks this summer, and if that's the plan, perhaps he'll be showcased a bit more down the stretch. This ki...

  on Mar 16, 2013 in BASEBALL Podcast RotoRob RotoRob's Fantasy Baseball Weekly Tim McLeod
  This week on RotoRob's Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast (heard Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio), we managed to launch into our Top 60 Prospects rankings, something we had hoped to do last week, but had to cut for time purposes. Well, we would...

  on Mar 15, 2013 in 2013 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit BASEBALL Prospects RotoRob
  Signed out of Venezuela in 2007, Perez looked much better at Triple-A last season. He's done a very good job of limiting home runs (just 10 in 21 starts and one relief appearance in the minors last season), but control remains his bugaboo (56 walks i...

• Video Game Review: MLB ‘13: The Show
  on Mar 13, 2013 in BASEBALL Herija Green Video Game Reviews
  As noted, the playoffs have been given their own mode as well with different presentation, jacked up crowds and situation-specific commentary. Even though it plays just like any other mode it's still a fun addition for those that don't care to play t...
• Video Game Review: Castlevania: Mirror of Fate
  on Mar 12, 2013 in Casey Curran Video Game Reviews
  The controls work perfectly except for two minor nitpicks. Catching the enemy off guard to counterattack requires you to press the block button at the same time the enemy makes contact. This worked most of the time, but almost exclusively during boss...
• Video Game Review: Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires
  on Mar 11, 2013 in Jeff Cater Video Game Reviews
  This series has never shied away from its original control scheme because it still fits perfectly and feels great when playing. Characters are controlled with the left stick, and your various attacks are mapped to the face buttons. As per usual, the...
• The Wire Troll: Descent Into Hockey Hell
  on Mar 10, 2013 in Chris Wassel HOCKEY The Wire Troll John Mitchell Matt Cooke Ryan Malone
  Malone's numbers are pretty good and his ownership rate is right around 10 per cent in most Fantasy leagues (but that won't last). The opportunities will keep coming from a Fantasy standpoint. However, health will remain a question because of the bru...
• The Wire Troll: Tiago Splitter Getting Double-Doubles
  on Mar 9, 2013 in BASKETBALL RotoRob The Wire Troll
  He's playing 40 minutes per game so far in March and has really responded (with three straight 20-point games) as he's really taken a leadership role offensively on the short-handed Bulls. Hell, Belinelli even canned the game-winner Friday against th...
• Podcast: Cincy Rediscovers the Bats

  This week's episode of RotoRob's Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio, was short and sweet. We had to cut it right at the half-hour mark so Tim could rush off for another radio spot, but, damn if we did...

  He had his first 200-hit season, his fifth 40-double campaign and third year with a BA of at least .330. Cabrera remains on the good side of 30 yet is already closing in on 1,000 runs, 2,000 hits, 350 homers and 1,200 RBI. Oh, and he's nearly a .320...
