Wayne Bretsky and Mark Kaplan take a look at the action around the fantasy baseball world. Mark selfishly rejoices in Carlos Gonzalez’ unfortunate trip to the DL while Bretsky makes a case to buy low. The boys discuss some of the top rookies on their way up to the bigs, outfield bats to pluck off the wire and answer some questions from the mailbag.
Hit up the guys on Twitter @BretskyBall and @DaTrueGuru to join in on the action!
