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):
TOR: Giles earned SV but struggled (1 R/2 H/1 BB/1 K) while Biagini was strong in 8th (perfect IP). Giles has now allowed R in two of past three outings & his grip on role could quickly disappear. Grab Biagini now just in case #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

TB: It's interesting to see the Rays go w/Alvarado in the 8th (perfect IP) and Castillo in the 9th (perfect IP/1 K) to earn SV. It shows that the team is going to be at least a little flexible & play matchups, meaning both are must own #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

MIA: Both Conley (1 R/2 H) and Romo (1 R/2 BB) stumble in game Marlins already trailing. Throw in struggles of Steckenrider & it makes sense that Nick Anderson starting to gain some hype. He's worth stashing to see (16 K vs. 2 BB) #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

ATL: It was non-SV but Minter's struggles (0.2 IP/3 R/2 H/1 BB/1 K) to take L still discouraging. He should still be favorite for opps w/Vizcaino on the IL, but another struggle could lead to alternative emerging quickly #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

MIN: Still holding out hope May emerges as "the man"? Allowed 2 R/1 H/2 BB over 0.2 IP yesterday & now owns 5.47 ERA and 1.57 WHIP with 5 K over 7.0 IP. In other words move on as it will take too long for him to emerge #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

PIT: Another struggle for Kela, who gets W despite 4th BSV (1 R/2 H). Kingham ultimately got SV w/Vazquez getting day off & you have to wonder if he will supplant Kela as the new next up #MLB #FantasyBaseball #roto

DET: We all knew Greene would stumble at some point, but at least it came in a non-SV right? He took the L allowing 2 R/2 H/1 K in 1.0 IP. Obviously there's no reason to sound any warning bells, unless it happens again #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

CLE: Working his 3rd straight day Hand was solid again in earning SV (1 H/1 K). While he had a stumble a few days ago it was hardly a concern then & it's already been forgotten. He's one of the best and that's not going to change #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

ARI: Holland continues to roll, earning 3rd SV w/2 K & 1 BB. Even if you don't want to believe that he can continue pitching at such a high level, he's locked into the role & it will take more than one bump to cost him his job #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
