Bullpen Notes: August 9, 2018: Must Add Options, Sleepers To Watch & More With At Least 4 Teams Facing Closer Questions
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):
MIL: Talk about an implosion, Knebel crashed & it’s possible he doesn’t recover (charged 4 R/1 H/3 BB w/o recording an out). Soria is banged up so it’s likely Jeffress gets a shot to run w/role, and he may never relinquish it #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

COL: Davis allowed pair of HR (3 R/3 H/0.1 IP) in non-SV to take L. He’s now allowed R in 3 of past 4 & it’s possible this one costs him job (though since it was non-SV it may not). That said, stash Ottavino immediately just in case #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

MIN: w/news that Rodney sent to Oakland Reed seems most likely to step into role given Hildenberger’s struggles. Taylor Rogers is a name to monitor, though, as a potential sleeper to rise into role #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

LAD: w/Jansen unavailable (and a DL stint is possible as he will undergo testing for irregular heartbeat) Alexander picks up SV (1 H/1 K). He’s the likely option to step in, though Baez could share role depending on matchups #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

TOR: Another HR allowed for Giles (1 R/1 H/2 K) & he’s now allowed 3 HR over his past 1.2 IP. Maybe he factors into closers role at some point, but for now Tepera is likely the name to own if searching for SV #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

WAS: Madson enters in non-SV & stumbles a bit (1 R/2 H/1 K). It’s not going to change his outlook, as he’s the last man standing, but don’t consider him a tremendous option in the short-term #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

NYY: Chapman doesn’t allow R but 2 BB in his IP highly concerning. Now has 5 BB over past 2.0 IP & speculation about his knee is only going to grow. Keeping Britton stashed just in case would be a prudent decision right now #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

CLE: Interesting to see Hand (perfect IP/2 K) for 8th of tie game. Would it have been Allen if they had taken the lead? Would Miller (perfect IP/1 K/W) have gotten the shot? Time will tell how this plays out, but consider the situation fluid #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

TB: Romo bounces back from BSV w/perfect IP (1 K) to earn 14th SV. He’s done a solid job & while you can never guarantee anything w/the Rays he should see the bulk of the opportunities (barring an August trade) #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

SEA: Diaz did allow a solo HR but that was it as he had 3 K en route to SV #43. Everyone is allowed to “stumble” occasionally, aren’t they? #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
