Odd Streaks for Feldman

[kennyt12]

Hopefully his streak ends tonight. He lost 6, won 6, and now he's lost 5. I hope it doesn't get to 6 unless he's going to win the rest of his starts this year.

Feldman sucks, the streak continues.

I don't want to see feldman on the mound again, at least not in a Rangers uniform.

I was very dissapointed that Feldman started last night. He has been struggling for month and a half now. Wash probably cost us a win and a game in the standings for continuing to go with a Feldman way too long. Perez had a good outing last week against the Rays and has pitched well in all 3 of his starts this year. He has only had 1 bad relief appearance in his very first game back on June 27th.
It would have been a perfect time to start Perez against the weak hitting Mariners who have a good number of lefties in their line-up. He is only 21 and needs the experience now for possible playoff duty and going forward to next year as a starter

Feldman's only role on this team should be mop up long man to save the bullpen. Frankly, if Oswalt is healthy I'd rather have him fill that role.

I was at the game last night and I swear Feldman in person is more boring to watch live than on TV. Slow as molasses and still gets hammered by one of MLB's worst line ups. Just give the ball to Perez next time and take your chances.

Even if Perez got beat this team would at least get something out of it by getting Perez ML experience.

even that role for Feldman is too generous.

First time I think I've ever seen the entire board in 100% agreement on a subject, but add me to the "Feldman sucks" camp. TAG pointed out on the broadcast what Al Falfa commented on- Feldman works so ridiculously slow that he puts his defense behind him to sleep (not to mention the fans). And what hurt him yesterday so badly (as is often the case with him) was his inability to put a pitch anywhere but right down the middle on 0-2 counts. He doesn't belong anywhere near the rotation of a team fighting for a division title.

 

[romeo212000]

Pretty sure Feldman may have just pitched his way out of the playoffs. Oswalt can fill the same long relief role and has been somewhat effective in short relief appearances. IMO if he's healthy he has more value in our bullpen than Feldman.

According to the Newberg Report Feldman has been replaced in the rotation by Perez.

I'm not going to dig through the threads and posts, but whomever it was that was saying that the $9M for Feldman next year would be a wise investment...still feel that way?

ford ... Will save you the trouble ... what I said was that TEX would likely to exercise its option to play next year. If it makes you feel good to to say I said it "would be a wise investment". Fine ... but that isn't what I said.

$9M for Feldman is his contracted salary for 2013 like MY's contracted salary next year is $16M. You call MY salary an investment in the last year of his career?

You think you are right today ... we'll see what happens in December.

Not sure why you are bringing Young into this, but his contract is guaranteed. Paying Feldman $9M next year would be the absolute dumbest thing this team could do. There is no way, no how that happens. There will be little to no demand for Feldman on the market. If Texas did want to bring him back, which we won't because he somehow feels he is a starter in this league and we would only have room in in our long relief role, they would do so after he tested the market and was willing to accept much less money.

Feldman would be worth about $3M per year, so no way Texas pays 3x that because you feel that we need to fill that spot. You don't pay $9M for a warm body, and that is all Feldman is.

Feldman is not worth the 600000 buyout and has shown that every year since the contract signing.
