After missing last week because of the MLB playoffs, RotoRob Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio, was back in action this week, this time featuring Pattonandco’s Tim McLeod.

Among the issues we dissected were:

• Josh has wrapped up his season-long RotoDerby reports.
• How do the St. Louis Cardinals keep doing it?
• The Cards’ rotation will be well rested heading into the NLCS.
• Lance Lynn has been remarkably consistent for the past few years.
• The Cards finished dead last in the NL in homers, yet have flexed their pop in the playoffs.
• Look at the Padres’ current roster and try to find a pitcher that hasn’t been felled by Tommy John surgery.
• The Giants sure figured out some weird ways to cobble together runs in the deciding game against the Nats.
• Tim gives the Cards a slight edge in the NLCS.
• As soon as the Giants turned over second base to Joe Panik, they started to roll.
• Billy Butler and Alex Gordon are finally enjoying their long-awaited rewards.
• RotoRob wonders where his thank you was from Tim’s Tout Wars win speech.

RotoRob Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio, was back in action this week and, notwithstanding some issues launching the show, actually came off without a hitch. RotoRob’s guest this week was Tim McLeod, of Prospect361.com. more

Mercer is slapping the ball all over the place and is scorching hot with a .415 BA in July, following up a five-homer June. What’s not to like? If you’re looking for a middle-infield replacement for Phillips, look no further. more

Duvall has smashed 23 homers in 263 at-bats at Triple-A Fresno this year. more

The defending World Series champs are in trouble and need a boost from their outfield production. Could Betts provide that spark? They’ve moved him from the middle infield to the outfield and with his recent promotion to Triple-A he hasn’t skipped a beat. In the past 10 games at Pawtucket, Betts is getting on-base at a .422 clip (see video below) with five stolen bases. Buying in now could save you a pile of FAAB cash as his eventual promotion could be right around the corner. more
