Picked up Jansen this morning, but I think I'm ready to drop him. He might have nasty stuff, but tonight's epic failure makes me think he can't handle the pressure. He already had command issues, which seem to be magnified in big spots. And I can't imagine him getting another opportunity anytime soon.

Melancon is my only closer hit so far this year and I don't dare cut Lopez.
Speculating for saves just plain sucks. I hit with Walden, but he's been shaky lately, and I wouldn't be surprised if he coughs it up too at some point.
I've whiffed with every other attempt, including holding onto Contreras thinking he was fine on Charlie Manuel's word and not grabbing Madson.
On the efforts of Storen & Jansen tonight, my ERA managed to shoot up nearly two tenths of a run tonight. That's not easy to do.
