Bullpen Notes: April 20, 2018: Change Coming In Detroit & Minnesota, Is Kela In Trouble? & More
Are you following @Rotoprofessor on Twitter? If not you should be, as we Tweet out all the important bullpen notes every morning from the previous day’s games. Who is in jeopardy of losing their job? Who is worth the speculative add? Here are this morning tweets (Please note we won’t be posting these on the website every day, so make sure you follow @Rotoprofessor to ensure you don’t miss a thing):
DET: After Jimenez got W in Game 1 (2 H/1 K), Greene w/2nd BSV in Game 2 (2 R/3 H/1 BB/2 K). Defense hurt him, but he’s now blown his last two save opportunities & that is going to lead to a change. Consider Jimenez a must own #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

TEX: No BSV but Kela takes L (3 R/3 H/0.1 IP). 1st real implosion, though he does have 4 BB over 5.2 IP (leading to a 1.59 WHIP). It’s something to watch, because this poor performance could conceivably be just the start #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

TB: Colome gets W w/perfect IP while Alvarado (0.2 IP/1 R/1 BB/2 K) & Romo (0.1 IP/3 R/2 H/1 BB/1 K) have less than stellar outings. A nice sign, but we need to see more before fully buying into his “rebound” #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

ARI: Boxberger takes L w/o getting out (3 R/3 H). Defense hurt him (1 ER) so it doesn’t mean imminent change coming, but Bradley’s value/potential appears to be growing by the day #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

HOU: Nice to see Giles back on mound w/perfect IP, as he’s been battling an injury. Helps to explain why Devenski getting opps but doesn’t mean Giles is instantly going to return to role. Both should be owned for now #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

MIN: Rodney w/2nd BSV (1 R/1 H/3 K). Probably not enough to lead to change but Reed is rolling & Rodney has blown 2 straight SV opps. It may only take one more struggle to lead to a switch #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) April 21, 2018
STL: Norris w/SV but struggles (1 R/2 H/1 BB). Holland still hasn’t found himself so Lyons & Gregerson worth grabbing if you are desperate for short-term SV just in case #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) April 21, 2018
MIA: Steckenrider struggles (2 R/3 H/1 BB) while Barraclough & Ziegler toss scoreless innings. Ziegler still “the man”, but Barraclough now may be locked in as next up (though always expected) #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

BAL: O’Day gets SV (perfect IP, 2 K) despite struggles last time out . Was it because Brach threw 23 pitches day before? This has all the makings of a frustrating situation until Britton returns, but for now O’Day appears to be preferred choice #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

PHI: Neris gets SV (1 H/1 K) w/Garcia pitching 8th. That shows the current pecking order, but as we noted recently keep a close eye on Arano and his ascent #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) April 21, 2018
KC: Nice to see Herrera get 1st SV since 4/7, but it’s all about opportunity not performance (0.00 ERA, 0.53 WHIP, 8 K over 5.2 IP). Don’t devalue him due to the team struggling #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) April 21, 2018
SD: Hand gets W (1.1 IP/4 K/1 BB). Up to 18 K over 11.1 IP & his early season struggles appear to be behind him. Yates is back, but as of today he’s no threat #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) April 21, 2018
NYM: After getting BSV (despite not allowing a R) his last time out Familia tosses perfect IP for 8th SV. Up to 11.1 scoreless innings w/13 K, so hard not to love what he’s doing #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) April 21, 2018
TOR: Osuna earns 6th SV w/strong showing (1 H/1 K). While “only” has 7 K over 9.1 IP, he also has 0 BB, 0.00 ERA and 0.43 WHIP. The Ks should be there in time, and that will round him out as one of the elite #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) April 21, 2018
WAS: Doolittle w/perfect IP for SV. As we’ve always said if he’s healthy he’s going to be among the best in the game, and right now he’s showing it #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
