In addition to Feltman, other RP who bear watching are Matthew Gorst, Joan Martinez, Travis Lakins, Ty Buttrey and Williams Jerez. The latter could be up later in the season as LHRP are not very plentiful with this org.

I think the two are kind of unrelated. Reading between the lines I interpreted it as don't expect Feltman this season but don't be surprised if you see him at some point next season. I think he was just acknowledging that a player can go from draftee to on the major league roster within the same year and he mentioned the two cases he saw first-hand. That's like if you or I mentioned Craig Hansen because that's our frame of reference to say that it can happen, but it's rare. I wouldn't read much more into that and think we can expect to see Feltman in September. No need to put him onto the 40 man roster just so he can get an appearance or two. It would be crazy for the Sox to rely on him in high leverage and they have a ton of viable options for lower leverage. They really don't need to gamble on Feltman this season. Just don't be surprised if he gets a shot next season at some point. He will be moving up the ladder pretty quickly, especially in comparison to other draftees.

Do you think he's a good candidate for the AFL this year Chris? Not Chris but I would guess no because the Sox probably won't want to overwork him in his first season of pro ball, and I think the extra reps would only be marginally beneficial anyway. I see both arguments, but I think they send him.

I would venture to say that Dombrowski is trying to hedge his bet haha. That way if Feltman miraculously pushes the big leagues then DD wont have to cover his tracks.

Durbin Feltman has moved on up to Salem. We may yet see Feltman (he really needs a nickname) up with the big boys. There's 4 weeks left so plenty of time for him to impress and be bumped up to Portland and then Boston.

Feltman in Greenville: 1: LD 1B to CF, Ks, Ks, Ks 2: Ks, Ks, E7 (Castellanos), Ks 3: FB 2B to CF, bunt 1B, Foul P6, bunt 1B, F9, BB, F8 4: Ks, 1-3, Ks 5: Ks, FB 3B to CF, Ks, GB 2B to LF, Ks 6: Ks, 4-3, Ks ... 2 of the hits are bunt singles ...Sounds like he needs to spend some time working on fielding his position.

Durbin Feltman has moved on up to Salem. That gif gives me nightmares. Lol I saw that show. "Check it out with Dr Steve Brule." Was the weirdest thing I've ever seen on TV. That and the Eric Andre Show. Adult swim plays some weird crap after midnight.

There's 4 weeks left so plenty of time for him to impress and be bumped up to Portland and then Boston. I am surprised they haven't found a nickname Feltman yet. Rare to see a kid move quick enough to need one, and deservingly so. Im sure "The Durbinator" will be tossed out there or something on those lines lol. We will have one quickly for him with this crafty SP group.

Let’s just reuse Kimbrel’s nickname, which I would argue fits Feltman better, and dub him Dirty Durbin

If they get the handle on it then its going to be all sorts of corny lol

Clearly after this thread his nickname should be Dr. Steve Brule.
What? Makes just as much sense as Tiger Death House...

He's the reliever that's already in AAA and is closer. Weirder things have happened and maybe no one should dismiss Feltman in September completely, but I don't see it happening.

Another typical Feltman save, 14 pitches 10 strikes, 3 K, game over.

There have been a lot more closer types drafted way higher who aren't even in the same stratosphere as Feltman talent wise. Craig Hanson comes to mind first and foremost. I just can't believe this many teams passed on a talent like this 3 times through a draft. Maybe I'm missing something and it was just a signing bonus issue and number for most teams, but my god, this kid is a late first round talent and the Sox stole him late in the 3rd. All this talk about resigning Kimbrel. This kid is the one that's making the decision easier to move on from Kimbrel. It'd be a way harder time to move on from Kimbrel if you didn't have Lakins and Feltman just lurking back in the minors and closing in for a roster spot by this year or next.

I have thought all along that Feltman wouldn't be tested until he got to Portland. With 27K's to 3BB's for the season, AA isn't going to be much of a test either.
ADD: I had to look up Dr. Brule in Google. I have no idea what that has to do with Feltman.
ADD2: I knew a Phil Brule from Swampscott who was a WWII Navy hero so, the association works for me anyways.

Wow I feeling this , at least the Sox the last two drafts , maybe three, they had a clear plan, targeting three specifics . One, relief pitching or successful relievers in College. Two potential starters, three finally some power bats. Side note maybe a closer.

Since Mariano Rivera has retired, maybe Durbin can change his last name to Sandman.

If Feltman was a hockey player, his nickname would be "Derby"

Durbin Feltman, that is quite a name in itself!! He might not need a nickname.

He's the reliever that's already in AAA and is closer. Weirder things have happened and maybe no one should dismiss Feltman in September completely, but I don't see it happening. Inclined to agree. Not to keep repeating this, but his usage has been very careful. He throws a single, clean inning. He's typically gotten 2 days or more between appearances - he only just recently threw with 1 day of rest for the second time. If they were thinking about bringing him up, I think they'd be doing things life getting him games coming in with baserunners and throwing back-to-backs. I also don't think they'd be going level-by-level. I think he'd be in Portland by now if that was the plan. I agree with what Ian said on the podcast that he probably gets a cup in Portland this year, but that's it. Another typical Feltman save, 14 pitches 10 strikes, 3 K, game over. How does this guy sneak into the end of the 3rd round? That's my question. There have been a lot more closer types drafted way higher who aren't even in the same stratosphere as Feltman talent wise.

Maybe I'm missing something and it was just a signing bonus issue and number for most teams, but my god, this kid is a late first round talent and the Sox stole him late in the 3rd. I've been wondering this myself honestly. Zack Burdi is the guy everyone has brought up as a comp. Louisville 1st rounder in 2016 to CWS. Was that year's "might be ready this fall", relief-only guy (as opposed to a Brandon Finnegan, who was ready in relief but there was a question if he could start if you took it slower). I've wondered what exactly the difference is - I know Burdi was in the SEC but it's not like the Big 12 is garbage. One possibility - Feltman has a violent, max-effort delivery. Perhaps that scared some teams off? But even that doesn't make a ton of sense. I certainly don't think it's some thing where this was a particularly deep draft that pushed him back a ton. Dunno.
