Welcome to the ninth appearance for RotoRob on RotoMan’s legendary Fantasy Baseball Guide. This pub has become a trait of autumn as associative as the Fall Classic and switching to heavier beers to deal with the declining thermometer.

But wait… it gets even better. This year, RotoRob readers can save $1 by ordering the digital version of the magazine online. Go to this page, and punch in the following promo code: ROTOROB. Ka-ching! That’s all there is to it. You win by getting the best magazine in the industry and you save a buck off the regular price. How sweet is that?

Team RotoRob was again front and centre with this fine publication as in addition to your trusty editor’s work on the book, Buck Davidson, Tim McLeod and Herija Green all kicked in contributions as well.

The 2013 issue includes more of what you’ve come to expect from the Fantasy Baseball Guide – a crapload of player profiles and even more ways to assess players this season.

So, what will you find in this year’s edition? I’m glad you asked. Check out these highlights:

• Over 1,400 player profiles, complete with prices and projections;
• Over 300 picks and pans from Fantasy baseball experts (yes, this includes RotoRob, who last year identified the likes of Mike Moustakas, Joe Nathan and Barry Zito as players to target while warning you that you should avoid Jonathan Sanchez, Heath Bell and Howard Kendrick, among others);
• The 25 top rookies for 2013;
• Strategies of the champions of some of the more prestigious leagues;
• Position by position cheat sheets; and
• An expert NFBC-style mock draft including analysis.

The publication should be in stores now, so if you’re like me and have come to the conclusion that this Valentine’s Day gift is not the best idea, may I suggest a shiny new copy of the 2013 FBG? Hell, I might even throw in an autographed copy if you have the guts to give your lady such a thoughtful present.

Once again, order here: http://www.thefantasysportsguide.com/store/p/digital-version-of-the-2013-fantasy-baseball-guide-professional-edition and remember to use the ROTOROB promo code for a deal!

The first episode of RotoRob’s Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast (heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio) in February went off without a hitch. There weren’t as many people in the chat room this week, but those that were there engaged in some animated discussions. more

In November, Tim McLeod visited the Arizona Fall League, filing a full scouting report. The multi-talented McLeod also took some photographs — tons of them in fact. And we’re going to bring you the best of those images over the next few weeks in a series of galleries. more

Still, he remains a key source of power for a Bronx Bomber squad that may actually need more pop this season. Last year, Cano set a career high in runs while enjoying his best power season yet. Yes, the Yanks exercised their $15 million option on him for 2013, but this is his walk season, so that’s a story that will need to be closely monitored. The slam dunk first keystone corner dude off the board, Cano is likely going in the middle of the first round after setting a career high in wRC+. Sure, he stunk it up in the playoffs, but over the course of an entire season, no one is in Cano’s class at second base. more

Well, what the frig do you know? BTR finally got its shit together and we were able to get through RotoRob’s Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast (heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio) on time and without any technical glitches. Woo hoo! The freedom from the inferior technology had Tim and I on the top of our games as we discussed a host of Fantasy baseball related matters. more
