We were back in action this week… well, half of the team was, anyway. RotoRob was again out because of the NHL playoffs, but Tim McLeod returned, bringing back long-time guest host Tim Heaney of KFFL fame.

The two Tims had an engaging chat, discussing a cornucopia of Fantasy baseball goodness, including:

• Kevin Gausman’s major league debut.
• Tim M. bemoans cutting Rex Brothers just before he inherited the Rox closer job.
• The boys look at potential closers in waiting.
• Is it time to buy in on Christian Yelich?
• Mike Zunino’s recent struggles at Triple-A.

This is mostly an inconvenience except in the cases when your offering is nearly exhausted — then you can actually break a spell and lose use of it for the duration of the fight. more

Spending much of the season batting fifth in the Twins’ order (although more recently lower than that), Parmelee has never struggled more, and he’s finding himself out of the lineup more and more as a result. Next stop, Triple-A? more

On Sunday, in his first start in a week, Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a double for just his third extra-base hit in 19 games and 40 at-bats this season. He also continued to flash his horrible strike zone judgment, fanning three times. more
