Middle Relivers

Don't often get too much credit, but can be the difference between a win and a loss. If you guys had to pick one MR to come into a close game who would it be and why?

Mike Adams, because I am a homer, and he is a stud.

Joba Chamberlain because his velocity is back to the upper 90s, and when he's on he's on. He could easily go back to his elite status of a few years ago this year with his velocity back.

But it's not.

A bit too early to say if his velocity is back or not, but he brought his fastball over95 in his second appearance. He's always thrown gas out of the pen so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. PitchFx:

As for middle relievers, I'd be happy with either of Thornton, Adams or Joba. Slight preference for those who are a bit closer to seeing save opps.

You can see from that chart it isn't even close to being where it was. Touching 95, 96 is not okay when you use to sit 94-97 and touch 99, 100.
