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 didn’t fill those 30 minutes with plenty of Fantasy baseball goodness.

Stuff we covered included:

• Cincinnati took a step back offensively in 2012; can the Reds’ offense bounce back this year?
• How much the Yankees will lean on an effective Hiroki Kuroda given all their injuries.
• The possible options the Yankees may employ in Mark Teixeira’s absence.
• Tim wonders if things can get any worse for Rickie Weeks this season.
• RotoRob doesn’t believe Carlos Gomez will reproduce his power numbers this season.

Talk about help from a surprise source. Rusch had been shelled for 18 earned runs in 15 IP over his last five appearances before Sunday’s four-hit, two-run, two-walk, five-strikeout start. With the Cubs’ rotation in shambles, Rusch could have bought himself another couple of starts with this win. But we’ll have to see a lot more before suggesting he’s worth a waiver wire claim. more
