Tanner Bibee - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Tanner Bibee, SP, Cleveland Guardians ANALYSIS: With Triston McKenzie and Aaron Civale on the shelf for the next few weeks at least, Cleveland has had to roll with the duo of Peyton Battenfield and Hunter Gaddis in the rotation after Shane Bieber, Cal Quantrill, and Zach Plesac.
