Razzball is hosting the Fantasy Roundtable this week. Very stressful. Had to clean up my bachelor pad. Was busy baking all day. One guy only drinks decaf because caffeine keeps him up all night.

I’ve recently been pondering the fantasy impact of scenarios such as: What is the impact of Russ Martin and Matt Kemp’s fantasy value if they hit 2nd vs. in the 5th through 7th spots?

Brett Greenfield of the phonetically alliterative Fantasy Phenoms hosts the Fantasy Roundtable this week. He asked… Name one pitcher and one hitter that is on the waiver wire in most leagues, that is worth picking up and could become the next Cliff Lee or Ryan Ludwick. Why them?
