Jake Arrieta: 2 starts, 13 IP, 4 hits, 1 run, 0.69 ERA
Pedro Strop: 19 Games, 18.2 IP, ZERO runs allowed in all appearances except one where he allowed 5 runs on the third game of a back-to-back-to-back.
Overall Strop: 18.2 IP, 8 hits, 5 runs, 0.80 WHIP, 2.41 ERA
Feldman: 7 games, 5.18 ERA, inline with what he used to do in the American League.
Can we stop with this Rule-5-Draft lunacy? McFarland and Flaherty are not needed at all. I bet they'll keep McFarland on the 25-man next year like they have this year with Flaherty so they can justify keeping McFarland on the roster all year this year.
So far McFarland has cost us: 1). Strop 2). Luis Ayala (2.04 ERA with Braves) 3). Bullpen flexibility in 1st half of season resulting in extra workloads for Tommy Hunter and Jim Johnson while starters were averaging 5 innings a start. 4). Using Bud Norris in relief this week. 5). Not able to call up whoever is hot in AAA.(Wada, Gausman?)
Flaherty's spot is pretty much wasted. That spot should be used for an 8th reliever or DH type. They think they can get by till September roster expansion, but we could be out of it by then.
