BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep NL-Only Leagues
ANALYSIS: Once an effective closer, relief pitcher Bobby Parnell has taken over the setup role with the Mets as they look to compete in the National League East. Returning from Tommy John surgery, the 30-year-old Parnell is re-establishing himself as a strong component of the Mets' bullpen. He has opponents hitting just .269, but a particular red flag in his numbers since his season debut is the speed on his pitches. Parnell's fastball has seen a 2-3 mph decrease, and his slider has seen a 3-4 mph decrease. This could be explained by hesitation to really “let loose.” When Parnell finds the comfort to see what his repaired elbow can do, watch out for the holds to come for this veteran reliever.
