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):
PHI: Neris unimpressive w/team down 5-0 (1 H/1 BB/1 K). Garcia in for 2.0 IP so consider 9th inning up in air #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) July 26, 2017
LAA: Non-SV but Norris (4 R/1 H/3 BB/0.0 IP) bad. Not going to cost him job but not locked in if struggles #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) July 26, 2017
TEX: Bush in 7th/Kela 8th despite 6 R lead. Shows you Claudio getting opp to run w/role (w/Leclerc in mix) #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

STL: Bowman faced 2 batters (1 H/1 HBP) & 1 would score (BSV). Rosenthal went 2.0 IP for W & mat still be man #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) July 26, 2017
NYM: Another poor outing, despite SV, for Reed (1 R/2 H). Could be hurting trade value but should be dealt #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) July 26, 2017
CWS: Clippard allows 1 R/1 H/1 BB in non-SV. w/Swarzak dealt to MIL don’t assume he reclaims closing duties #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) July 26, 2017
TB: Colome allows 2 H but gets SV. Locked in but 1.31 WHIP alone tells us not dominant option this season #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) July 26, 2017
KC: Pitching for 3rd straight Herrera perfect (1 K) for SV. Remember when some thought he could lose role… #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) July 26, 2017
NYY: Betances struggles (1 R/1 H/2 BB) & Chapman doesn’t seem like self (SV, but 0 K). Keep Robertson stashed #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) July 26, 2017
TOR: Another ho hum SV for Osuna (only 1 K?!?!). It’s amazing to think that Toronto almost didn’t move to pen #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

Rotoprofessor recently debuted our Reliever Reliability Quotient (RRQ), in an effort to determine whose skills translate best for late inning roles. Make sure to check out our introduction of the stat by clicking here.
Hey Professor!
I love your site!! I come here everyday.
I have a quick question. In a 12team h2h 6×6 (obp/slg) redraft league, who has the most value ros, Hicks, Chisenhall, Althere? I need an OF and have a DL spot open. I want to pick one of them. Thanks in advance!
I’m gonna guess Hicks, but it really depends who gets back on the field first
Rotoprofessor:
I can’t help but wonder if Kahnle doesn’t creep into the NYY closer picture, by the beginning of next year or earlier. The three guys ahead of him either will be with another team or seem to be showing chinks in the armer. Thoughts?
Barring trades/departures it’s hard for me to envision that one.
Thanks as always, this is so helpful!
Who is your money on to be CHW closer in a week’s time?
And how about NYM?
I honestly have no clue about the White Sox. It’s going to be a bit of a mess.
As for the Mets, I’d gamble on Salas
thanks!
