Neftali Feliz, RHP, Age 28
Free Agent Signed January 6, 2016
Pittsburgh has given Feliz another look after an ugly year with the Detroit Tigers and the Texas Rangers (6.38 ERA). It’s been a longtime in baseball years since Feliz saved 40 games for the Rangers in 2010 and a had a .88 WHIP. 2012-13 was mostly lost to Tommy John surgery. On the positive style of the ledger, he’s still got great mid-90’s velocity.
