It’s no secret that the Jays pitching rotation needs help, and that weakness has become even more exaggerated now that Marcus Stroman is done for the year. Finishing below average in most pitching categories last year, Toronto will look to their youngsters to help fill out their rotation for 2015.

View image | gettyimages.com You’d be forgiven if you saw Wade Miley in the title and skipped right over this post. In 638.2 career innings over four seasons he’s the owner of a career 3.79 ERA and 7.03 K/9. He’s played in anonymity in Arizona since 2011, and he had

Chris Perez has closing experience, and coincidentally, the aforementioned Rodriguez saved 10 games for the Brewers in 2013

Ask any of Brian McCann’s fantasy owners from the 2014 season what they thought of his performance, and the stank eye you’ll get is the only response you’ll need. He finished the season with 23 homers, which extended his streak of reaching or exceeding 20 homers in a season to seven,

View image | gettyimages.com On Tuesday Colby Rasmus signed a one-year deal with the Astros worth $8 million, and he’ll immediately be asked to fill the center field void created by dealing Dexter Fowler (colleague David Wiers covered the fantasy ramifications for Fowler here). Rasmus becomes yet another power hitter with high strikeout
