Fantasy Baseball Bullpen Stock Watch: Shelby Miller Save?

Arizona Diamondbacks RHP Justin Martinez started the ninth inning with a three-game winning streak at New York Citi Field last Wednesday night. But after a home run, a pair of walks, with a noticeable speed slowing down his famous fastball, and he finished. RHP Ryan Thompson threw his own "fastball" (from the side) at about 90 mph. When news comes out, Martinez needs to image his shoulders - Thompson and RHP Kevin Ginkel seem to have completed a few months with LHP AJ Puk, which seems to be a reasonable choice for future savings.

surprise! RHP Shelby Milleronce traded SS Dansby Swanson and formerly a starting pitcher for Fantasy, is now on the sixth team in the past five seasons. He was the one who received a call from the ninth inning on Thursday. He threw eight balls and quickly earned his fourth career (from 2023). Miller registered five times in his first 12 games of the season, which allowed Nary A to run, fastball speed increased, strikeouts per innings outstripped strikeouts, so we weren't too surprised that he saved the victory. From now on, he will likely save countless victories.

Miller wasn't the last guy to stand in the Arizona bullpen, but Thompson didn't work that hard. Jinkel started this season at Illinois State due to shoulder issues and allowed to run on two-thirds of the appearance. LHP Jalen Beeks saved Sunday's wild, extra win in Philadelphia - which is possible as Miller put out savings in the ninth inning. That said, it seems unlikely that Beeks will continue to gain opportunities. Miller only allowed the first game of the season on Sunday. PUK won't return anytime soon. Martinez may be back soon. Jose Valverde didn't walk through that door. Someone Must be closed.

Miller entered 29.8% of batsmen on Monday. He is not in the league leader, but that's a good speed for him, and he relied on a splitter to help him produce a 1.71 ERA (42 IP) for the 2023 Los Angeles Dodgers. Last season, Miller lasted 93.5 miles at 93.5 mph on the Detroit Tigers, 60% of the time. He threw a tough slider 20% of the time. He mostly abandoned the slider, and his fastball Velo has a speed of up to 94.5 mph, the best career best.

Miller, 34, appeared in a career-high 51 games last season, staying healthy by about two-thirds of the season, serving as leverage. He blew 6-8 at 7 times. The Rattlers seem to be a solid potential playoff team, and losing Puk and Martinez is a big problem. Who knows when will you come back?

Miller seems unlikely to stay healthy and/or perform well enough to close for a long time, but if you want Arizona close This weekit's Miller.

Stocks rise

Emilio Pagan of Cincinnati Reds: The Pagan continues to play in elementary school roles - now wild Alexis Diaz returns to Triple-A Louisville as he can't strike with any consistency. At this point, it seems more likely that the Pagan, who saved only one double-digit triple-digit game in eight seasons, saved the chances of red in the next five months, Bidiaz won the victory. When the Pagans became popular through Diaz, the ESPN Standard League roster numbers finally reflected that. The pagan is prone to Homer, and his current 3.98 FIP speaks more about his performance than his 2.35 ERA, but if you want to save (like Miller in Arizona), he should keep making money.

Luke Weaver, New York Yankees: A few weeks ago, we wrote about Devin Williams who "come close" and confidently announced that it was mostly about Babip and doom, and things would magically work. They can still do it. Monday is not a good sign, though. Williams beat the base with San Diego Padres, and took a walk, Weaver was relieved to get everyone to score. Weaver even allowed one of his own runners to score, eventually messing up his flawless era. The maximum is now 0.59. Williams is unlikely to continue to fight orders for a long time, but those seeking saves should add weavers. Worryingly, his average fastball speed dropped from 95.7 mph to 94 mph, but on Monday, he was eliminated.

Zachary Agnos,,,,, Colorado Rockies: It is rarely a wise idea to recommend Rocky Range pitchers, especially as the team seems to be planning to lose more games than last season’s Chicago White Sox. Still, we can’t pretend that Agnos didn’t save the past two victories, and as the story progresses, every thing saved matters. Agnos, a 24-year-old right-hander who closed the game among minors, ended with a run prevention and worthwhile strikeout rate.

He is not allowed to run or walk in seven innings in Colorado's six games, but...he has beaten Only one Facing 26 batsmen. That's not very good, maybe in these times, it's unprecedented. No level of success is sustainable, either at the elevation of Denver or at the height of the pitcher park. RHP Seth Halvorsen is a popular pre-season sleeper that saved Colorado’s March 29 victory but has struggled since. Add agnos to your own danger. The White Sox lost 121 games last year, and they saved a total of 21 games.

Stocks fell

Trevor Megill, Milwaukee Brewery: Megill's ERA and 1.50 whip aren't great, but his fault is that there are only four save opportunities in five weeks and it's not his fault. The brewers saved only five of the 18 wins. Only the White Sox has saved less. On Monday night, things looked good, leading 3-1 against the Houston Astros, but then Rhys Hoskins and Jake Bauers both beat in Run and Megill, ranking in the top 200 in the batsman facing him, he hadn't used much -- not even warmed up.

There is a part of luck here, but the fantasy manager doesn't care, as he has only 36.6% of the roster in the ESPN Standard League. We can say with certainty that Gior will be preserving the pace of progress? Not really. These things don't have to be even. Megill is a mid-level close that can be repaired and worth it in more stocks, but the same as last season, so there may not be another 25 saves.

Kenley Jansen, Angel of Los Angeles: Jensen investors certainly can’t complain about his April performance. He won six wins in the last eight close matches in March/April with the Blutarsky level (0.00) era (0.00). Jansen is an active MLB leader in Saves and No. 4, and he feels safe to rely on. Then, on his first outing in May, he allowed three-in-ninth home runs and six runs in a 1-1 game against the Tigers. How do we feel now?

Jansen scored three points (two points) savings the next day, but we know he won't be perfect for the rest of the season. The last season of his last era is in 2021. Yes, probably because, with the brutal 7.02 relief pitcher era, there is nothing else that competes with him, they have to win some games. Just go beyond that terrible outing and hopefully no second outing.

Raisel Iglesias, Atlanta Warriors: Iglesias ranked fourth with 413 saves on active pitchers, including a drama-free outing against the Dodgers Sunday night as he blew four batsmen but there was some attention here. Iglesias has allowed five home runs, once more than all last season (69 IP), and he has a long history of allowing flying balls over outfield fences. In fact, Iglesias allowed double home runs as a relief player in three separate seasons.

This season he feels like he will be four shots, but like Jansen, there seems to be little risk of character change. The numbers/metrics for other iglesias look good. He hasn't lost his role as Pierce Johnson or Dylan Lee. Future Hall of Fame member Craig Kimbrel did lurk on Triple-A Gwinnett, establishing a pace of possible promotion, but he is no longer "Prime Kimbrel." Iglesias won't allow close-range characters with five home runs a month, though, so we probably shouldn't dismiss any possibility.
