An RBI double by Brandon Phillips broke the tie and it did not end just there. The rough outing raised his ERA to 2.21 as Parnell had been excellent all season and had not allowed a run in the month of May. His closing job still should be safe for now even considering the loss Wednesday.","date":"Wed May 22"},"fullName":"Bobby Parnell","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Though it took some time for him to fully adapt at the big league level, Parnell appears to have arrived as a legitimate contender for the Mets' closer role. In the past two seasons, he has introduced a two-seam fastball, boosting his ground ball rate, and a curveball, helping generate a high rate of swings and misses. Most importantly, his control has improved to the point that he's no longer an annual WHIP risk. With his skills seemingly polished, Parnell might be in the conversation to close this spring, though the Mets still have Frank Francisco under contract and were linked to other free-agent closers such as Brian Wilson and Jose Valverde during the winter. If you're a believer that skills often win out, Parnell might be worth stashing in NL-only leagues, especially if your league also values holds.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":5.8,"playerRater15DAY":5.8,"positionRank":8}
