Description

MLB.com's Matthew Leach and fantasy expert Fred Zinkie discuss the merits of picking up Aaron Altherr and Mark Reynolds especially if you own Freddie Freeman who is going to miss significant time with an injury. (:26) Xander Bogaerts has not added the power stroke to his game yet and that lowers his rank below some of the higher level shortstops around the league. (16:30) Indians outfield prospect Bradley Zimmer has been called up to the big leagues, Zinkie discusses what kind of player he is. (19:30) Masahiro Tanaka has struggled through the first few weeks of the season, is he a buy low candidate or can he turn it around? (22:49) Could Jose Berrios or Eddie Butler be a difference maker for the Twins and Cubs? (27:21) With Aroldis Chapman heading to the DL, is Dellin Betances an acceptable replacement? (32:50) The guys also break down the struggling bullpens of the Mets, Nationals and Mariners. (35:45) Matthew Leach sat down with Blue Jays reporter Gregor Chisholm to find out about Joe Biagini in the starting rotation and Jose Bautista's slow start. (43:29)
