Felix just got his replacement, actually tho I think Felix will be much better next year.

Wow– I did not expect to see this name on MLBTR again- I’ll be real, it’s not a horrible depth move- like he could be a very solid AAA player coach, but I don’t see him playing a huge role in 2017- a 4.30 in the ATL league with pedestrian BB K numbers- I don’t know-

Invite him to ST if he looks good great if not cut him stick him in AAA or whatever. You can never have too many arms. These are the moves that don’t cost much and maybe you catch lightning in a bottle with one of them. Like I said in another post the guys across the street made a championship team by moves like this. Find guys nobody wanted or gems in the late rounds and if you make a mistake get rid of them fast. Don’t be afraid to admit a mistake and move on.

Yeah the sounders are pretty good, I know that’s not what you mean tho.

He brings a new definition to the term “swingman”

He has a higher WAR as a hitter than a pitcher…don’t see why he hasn’t tried to convert to a full time hitter…

He has tried before in the past. He tried to do that with the Nat’s in 2013. Also, his WAR as a hitting pitcher is reflective of wins above replacement in comparison to other pitchers. So having, for example, 1.2 WAR as a hitting pitcher for batting something like .215/.315/.390 would not be 1.2 WAR if said pitcher had that same slash line and was a left fielder. Basically, WAR is relevant to your position as a player.

In AAA with the Nationals in 2013, when he was trying to convert to being an outfielder, he struck out 92 times in 268 plate appearances and had an .OBP under .300. He showed good power and hit for a decent average, but those numbers in the minors at age 30 probably put a permanent end to that experiment.

His career ERA is not 2.79, that was his ERA for the 2012 season.

pedant: a person who annoys other people by correcting small errors and giving too much attention to minor details
