Didn't Feliz just get called up to AA?

Seems like a strange move.

 

Yeah, I don't get why they'd call Feliz up to relieve.

Bad timing for Feldman. He seemed to be settling into a groove.

 

****, this is big. Reliable innings-eater gone. Could put a tax on the bullpen that would have a ripple effect

 

I'm hoping they called up Feliz to showcase before a trade?

 

He's on the 40 man roster and all of our options at AAA suck.

 

perfect timing to bring up correa.
(i'm kidding)


feldman was hitting his stride. hope obie's blister issues go away.

 

Wait, wouldn't Feldman's injury cause there to be an open spot in the pitching rotation? Why wouldn't Feliz get a chance to start?

 

Feldmen could be a huge blow, especially if Obie isn't back soon. Excited to see what Feliz is packin though.

 

10 days ago, Michael Feliz was in Lancaster.

 

I'm guessing Obie is activated once Feldman's spot in the rotation comes up.

 

so..how did Feldman hurt his knee? during a game or off the field?

 

Meniscus tears can be a usage injury. Doesn't necessarily require a specific thing to happen.

Couldn't Buchanan take a turn in the rotation if need be? Then you could have Buchanan and Feliz set to go on that day.

 

oops...double post.

 

Believe that's Feldman's next turn in the rotation.

Feliz being on the 40 man roster probably plays into the call up.

 

Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if he is only here until Monday when Oberholtzer comes back

 

I'm surprised they called up Feliz as a reliever. Teams usually give every chance for a guy to be a starter because of the value of starters. It can be hard to send a guy down if he is producing as a reliever at a high level.

Granted, this front office is more "cold" than most in decision making and less likely to let emotions affect decisions.
