Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker discuss the reported signing of Cuban pitcher Yariel Rodriguez - what could his role look like, either in the starting rotation or the bullpen? Baseball America's Kyle Glaser (5:55) joins to discuss his Rodriguez scouting report from both the World Baseball Classic with Cuba and from the NPB's Chunichi Dragons. Afterwards, they dive into the Back Leg Line (20:27) and answer some listener questions, including who comprises 'the core' of the team, why the off-season has gone slowly across the league, and where power hitting answers can still come from.
