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: Yimi Garcia worked 8th and was ultimately handed W (perfect IP/2 K). He has a 0.77 ERA and while Kintzler has been alright, would it really be shocking if a change came? Garcia is more of a prototypical closer & must stash #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

CHC: It was interesting to see how the bullpen was deployed in non-SV:

– Wick in 7th
– Kimbrel in 8th
– Jeffress in 9th
Does this mean Kimbrel has emerged as the next up & could get SV once again? If someone lost hope, don't be afraid to stash #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
NYM: Diaz rolls to SV (1 H/3 K). Suddenly he appears to have regained his elite form, with a 1.71 ERA and 45 K in just 21.0 IP. While we don't want to declare him "back" quite yet, it's also hard not to consider him a Top 10 option #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

ARI: Crichton rolls to 3rd SV w/perfect IP. While he may not be elite, he's clearly "the man" right now and a must own for anyone searching for SV #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

HOU: Pressly takes L in non-SV (0.2 IP/1 R/2 H/1 BB/2 K). It's a frustrating showing, but he has seemed to right the ship right now and should continue on as "the man". While there's upside, he's more of a CL2 however #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

KC: It was non-SV, but Barlow works 8th before Holland in 9th. There's no question what the current pecking order is for the Royals, the question is whether or not Holland can continue to do the job #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

TB: Anderson takes L in non-SV. It's a small bump, but a meaningless one. The Rays may never establish him as the true closer, but he's the favorite for SV and the best name to own for now #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

WAS: McGowin gets SV in extra innings after Hudson takes BSV (1 R/1 H/2 K). Meaningless in scheme of things, but McGowin did K side and has 0.00 ERA, 0.45 WHIP and 12 K over 6.2 IP. He could emerge as next up quickly #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) September 17, 2020
OAK: Hendriks racks up 5 out SV (1 H/2 K). We've said it again and again, but he's emerged as one of the elite and is easily a top 2-3 option, if not the best in the league #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

LAD: With Jansen having worked in 3 of 4 games, it's Baez called on for SV. It's no surprise that he's the next up, but this is Jansen's job and that's not about to change #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
— Rotoprofessor (@Rotoprofessor) September 17, 2020
CIN: Bradley in the 8th before Iglesias nets SV (1 K). Bradley is a nice safety net for the Reds, but we all know that Iglesias has a long leash and isn't losing the role right now #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

PHI: Neris struggles in tie game (1 R/2 H/1 BB/2 K), taking the L. It appeared that he had regained the closers role, but could the team turn back to Workman or someone else? It doesn't seem to matter, so this is sit to avoid for now #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
