Finnegan is exactly why I want them to take it slow with Feltman.

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. 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 would guess that teams don't like a player AS MUCH where their destiny is already written. Basically, they probably would rather take a guy that has big upside being round 3 with a fallback of becoming a relief pitcher. Its not the exact same scenario, but the Sox got that out of players like Matt Barnes, initially Pat Light, Karsten Whitson etc. There is so much more value in grabbing the upside play, but only when you know what you'll get if switched from SP to RP. Most of the borderline players carry a really good Fastball with another solid secondary. There was no question whatsoever if Feltman was RP or not so its a less sexy pick. Another sneaky grab for the Sox was Stephen Nogosek. Kid had some really good stuff. Im curious why he wasnt given a chance to start. Apparently he had 4 or so pitches so would have been interesting as an experiment.

Durbin Feltman, that is quite a name in itself!! He might not need a nickname. Then again, if the political correctness faux outrage machine in the in this country cranks up any higher the Red Sox will be obliged to refer to him as Durbin Feltperson, or face breathless boycotts and Twitter threats.

Does anyone else think we should re-think drafting straight-brimmed guys with names like “Durbin” from Deep South schools? I dunno... it seems a little out of style.

I am rooting for this guy. I know there seems to be a step back in stuff, but his minor league numbers have been either good or, in AA, not without promise.
I wonder if time off could actually help a few players .... regroup mentally, work out problems in non-game situations etc.

In addition to the need for more pitchers until the likely big league roster pitchers are stretched out, another logical reason for the invitation is exposure to the major league pitching coaches. He may need tweaks to his delivery because his results have not yet matched his talent.

I mean, as a guy who's hopefully ticketed for AAA, it's not weird that Feltman is in camp. The 75-player roster is, in theory, supposed to have most of the AAA roster.
I don't find it weird that Feltman is getting an NRI. Practically the entire AAA roster is going to be in camp, as they should be.

Any reports on if his velocity has come back? He was throwing upper 90s when he was drafted.

Not to throw dirt but, what does it say that Ort got the call before Feltman ?
Ort is 29 so it isn't likely anything new there.

Ort is 29 so it isn't likely anything new there. it might just say that they don't want to yank Feltman's emotions around by calling him up and sending him down. After reading that article about how the fast track talk helped mess up his development for a few years, that is what pops into my mind.

Ort is on the 40-man and Feltman isn’t?

Yes and no. Ort was added as a covid replacement and made his debut last night in SEA. They're getting a look at him but won't have to DFA him.

Ort is on the 40-man and Feltman isn’t? Neither was until they added Ort as a COVID replacement. They easily could've done that with Feltman instead. Ort's apparently seen as the better option at this particular point in time.

I've actually been surprised at the lack of attention paid to Feltman's resurgence. I wouldn't have minded seeing him get a chance as a BP piece. We've seen teams bring up young relievers who go on a run and contribute to a stretch run. His 58 Ks and 14 BBs in 47 IP should have merited a look. I mean this team has acquired Austin Davis, Hansel Robles and Michael Feliz in the last few weeks.
Free Durbin Feltman.
