Neftali Feliz to the disabled list



Neftali Feliz is going to the disabled list, ain't that about a bitch.

 

Edit: Texas Rangers' closer Neftali Feliz is going on the 15 day disabled list due to right shoulder inflammation.  Speculation arose about Ron Washington's use of Feliz (or lack thereof) in recent games, and it appears the cause of the situation was Feliz having shoulder issues.

 

Much wailing and gnashing of teeth will ensue.  Is Darren O'Day going to keep sucking?  Will our primary 9th inning options be Methuselah and the old man from New Year's cartoons?  Is the highest and best use of Julio Borbon as a human sacrifice to avert these tragedies in the future?  Josey's money is on "yes."

 

I suppose now we know that Chris Davis can continue to sit on the bench, being snubbed by his teammates after Gritty McGritterson goes dong, for at least a short while longer as Cody Eppley joins the big club.  Yay!

So Ogando to the bullpen

Hunter to the rotation

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

So....should I be scared of this inflammation?

They're not all that important over 162 games, at least not over the next best guy in most situations.

This is likely to make a small difference on the season, the small difference will just come over a very short period of time and thus look larger.

If indeed a difference is made.

It will hopefully be too short of a sample to say anything definitive about the importance of a super awesome closer,

but with regard to the closer-importance debate that we had about the Rangers in the offseason, here we’re not gaining a potentially-awesome starter in the trade. We’re just losing out on a talented pitcher, period.

I'd think there's a decent chance it does happen.

It might be masochistic to watch, but it could happen.

It wouldn’t be quite the same without TAG with him though.

That would be the highest rated game of the year in DFW I bet...

Don't be a dickhead

Given his workload over the past two years, and his age, this is a minor blip.

And no, I’m to young to be one. Currently a lifeguard at Harbor. That would be a schemeworthy idea, however.

I used to work with a guy named Hutch at Trees in the late 90’s who was a bartender… just checking.

I have mad irrational love for Davis as well

and agree that he doesn’t belong in the majors right now. If one of the two Mikes, Moreland, or Beltre were out for some reason, then it would make sense. For now, bring up Chavez or Gentry instead of making Murphy play center.

Here's my ideal situation...

Wash decides to go with a bullpen-by-situation and essentially does what we’ve been asking; put in the correct guy in the situation that is warranted, regardless of the inning. Everyone starts getting a save here and there, the output is better (we think it would be, anyway) and Wash starts to believe in this thing.

Why have only one guy racking up the super sweet stat that is a save when 5 guys could be getting in on that action? He’ll remember this come next year and when Feliz moves to the rotation, he no longer has a closer and manages the bullpen in this new and revolutionary way.

Baseball is changed forever and it is all on that one day that Neftali Feliz hurt his shoulder and that baseball genius Ron Washington dared to take a chance on an unconventional method.
