Neftali Feliz .... Longterm?

[Midnight_Toker]

We all know that he's in the bullpen now and for the rest of the season.

However, where do you guys think he'll be next season and beyond? Personally, I don't know much

about him and have heard conflicting statements as to whether he is the Rangers closer of the future

or a SP.

What do you guys think? Closer or a Starter long term?

[Captain Furtah]

I think they'll do what they can to make him a Starter as he could be a #1 or #2 (and they desperately need SP), but definately has the stuff to be a dominant closer should the SP experiment not work out

[MasterX1918]

I see them trying to make him a starter, but I think he'll end up being a bullpen arm and possibly a closer.

[mac-unit]

I think he'll end up being a closer. He has great stuff but from what I seen it's best if he only goes through a lineup once.

[buffalobillsrul2002]

He's only 21. He has time to mature. I think he ends up becoming a pretty solid starter, if the Rangers are patient enough to wait 3-5 years for it to happen...

3-5 years ? damn

His future? TJS. Book it. His delivery is violent like that of Volquez.

TommyJohn then a 5-6 year stint as a top closer before his elbow explodes.

Well hopefully they can get 4-5 years out of him before the TJ too ><
But yes, the rangers current plan is to convert him back to a starter in the offseason, nolan ryan said so.

He was great again tonight by the way. 4 up 4 down, 2 ks. Hit 101 4 times on gameday, 100 4 more. On the year he has 17 batters faced, 16 retired (including 1 error). Just the one HR has reached so far.

I was under the impression that he had a good delivery?
