After presenting our choices for the American League All-Wire Team last week, today we shift over to the Senior Circuit.

Well, the results are in, and in this, the inaugural season of RotoRob’s Fantasy League, our hats go off to Steve Parsons for romping to victory by a whopping 12 points over Dave McBride of the Full (of it) Mounties (sorry, Dave — couldn’t resist one last parting shot), and Jordan Frank of the host […]

Tim McLeod is still recovering from his vacation, so RotoRob will handle The Wire Troll for this, the final week of the season.
