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):
MIA: Had a big lead but Steckenrider in 7th (1 K), Barraclough in 8th (1 H/2 K) & Ziegler stumbles in 9th (1 R/1 H/2 K). Change will come & it appears Barraclough will get 1st shot at role #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

HOU: Giles hadn't pitched since 4/14, but once again it's Devenski who gets SV (1 H/1 K). How long this alignment lasts remains to be seen, and Giles is worth stashing, but he's lost trust & for now Devenski needs to be viewed as "the man" #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

STL: Another implosion from Holland (2 R/1 H/2 BB) as he couldn't get an out. Norris ultimately stepped up for 5 out SV (1 H/3 K) & appears to have role. Long-term Holland should get there, but for now Norris is one to own #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

LAD: Jansen takes 2nd BSV (2 R/2 H/1 BB/2 K), allowing his 3rd HR in just 6.2 IP (and has just 7 K). Last season he had 1 BSV and allowed just 5 HR over 68.1 IP. No concerns, yet, but he needs to get on track quickly #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

TB: Nice to see Colome w/a solid IP (1 H/1 K), albeit with his team trailing big. He needs to do it with a game on the line, but hopefully it's a step in the right direction #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

MIL: It's clear that Hader is "the man", but only on days he's available. He converted a 6 out SV (29 pitches) allowing 1 H w/3 K. Keep in mind that if SV comes up today he likely will be unavailable (Albers likely to get opp) #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

DET: Greene w/perfect IP for SV, but more notable is Jimenez shining ahead of him (1.1 IP/3 K/HLD). He's once again put himself on the map & chances are he will get SV opp by mid-year. Worth stashing if you need SV #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

CWS: Soria used in 6th in a blowout (0 R/2 H/1 BB/3 K) & Jones gets work in 8th (perfect IP/3 K). It's clear who the closer is at this point & good chance Jones runs w/role for rest of season #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

BAL: Interesting to see Brach work 7th inning w/Baltimore only trailing by 1 R. Shows his hold on role may not be as solid as thought, even though he's been rolling though Givens stumbled in 8th (1 R/1 H/1 BB) #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

PHI: Neris gets W after pitching clean IP in tie game. Nice to see & has back-to-back scoreless appearances, but still hardly safe & may not take much for change to come #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

WAS: As expected Doolittle was right back in for SV & delivered (2 K). While he did have a recent stumble, there's no reason for concern. As long as he's healthy (which is never a given) he's a Top 10 option #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

COL: Another ho hum perfect IP for W. Davis to pick up his 8th SV. He's as locked into his role as they come at this point #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
