Are you following @Rotoprofessor on Twitter? If not you should be, as we Tweet ut 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):
BOS: 1st Barnes takes BSV (2 R/3 H/1 BB/0.2 IP) before Brasier takes L (1 R/2 H/1.0 IP). Workman may get next opp (perfect 8th) but don't overlook Hembree (1.1 IP/3 K) who has 0 BB in 5.2 IP & emerging into late inning threat #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

TEX: Kelley takes BSV (1 R/4 H/1.0 IP) & Martin ultimately earns SV in extra innings (2 K/1.0 IP). With Leclerc struggling he makes sense as a potential next up & Kelley is questionable at best (BSV in 2 of past 3). For now sit to monitor closely #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

ARI: Pitching in non-SV Holland allowed pair of solo HR. 1st R he's allowed in a month & while he has just 1 SV since May 4 it's all about opps & not ability. He has 2.08 ERA/1.02 WHIP over 21.2 IP & is 100% safe for now #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

ATL: Don't read into Webb getting SV, as he got final out in 8th & then just stayed in for 9th after tack on R took away opp if change was made. For now this continues to be Jackson's role w/o question #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

LAA: Buttrey gets W working 8th (1 H/1 BB) before Robles earns SV (2 H). While you can make the argument that Buttrey has the higher upside, Robles is "the man" & is locked into role. Consider former nothing more than a stash for now #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

STL: Gant sets things up (1 R/1 H/2.0 IP) before Hicks locks down SV (1 H/2 K). He continues to have some bumps & needs to continue to be watched closely, but for now his role is safe & he should continue to be solid option #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

COL: Oberg takes BSV in 8th (1 R/1 H/1 BB/2 K) but ultimately gets W with Davis getting SV (1 H/1 K). No question whose job this is, and outside of leagues that value HLD those who grabbed Oberg can safely move on #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

Do you think Stammen’s season last year was an outlier for his career? He’s been terrible. I really like Bummer’s peripherals but he’s kind of an unknown at this point. He’s been a stud the past month with that gb inducing sinker. He’s a lefty but actually better against lefties. I just dumped Stammen for him. Thoughts?
It makes sense. Stammen should settle down and continue as a primary setup man, but it’s getting harder to believe for the short-term
