Anyone can get hurt at any time, but Neftali’s delivery is pretty free and easy for a guy who hits 3 digits occasionally.

OK. Place your bets. When will Feliz make his first visit to Dr. James Andrews? I’ll take August 31st of this year.

I’m with you. Let’s not forget that he’s only 22 years old. At times he has been timid and doesn’t necessarily have a killer instinct.

That being said, I think he can definitely grow into the role of a starter and days like today can do a lot for his confidence level.

I think the whole “Feliz doesn’t want to start” story was overblown in the first place. From the quote I read, he said, through a translator and paraphrased, “I am comfortable closing, but I want to do whatever is best for the team.”

Nah…I’m sure it’s all about the cutter.

Players don’t care about making money. It’s all about winning championships.

…or something.
