Really? For someone who's suppo
Maybe you have more like you said but ill respond to what you have if this is your main point. Hes never gotten his wrist fixed over a three year period for some reason. That alone might be reason enough to not want him back, but assuming he IS finally healthy, why not? What else was available at 3B this year? Maybe Mark Reynolds. Valbuena is not your answer, he is a stopgap's backup. Ask the Blue Jay fans if they miss him.

Youve got the ballpark factor all wrong. Who cares if he got 20 runs or 0 runs of support every game? W's and L's are fun for fantasy baseball but they dont reflect how well a guy is actually pitching. He was pitching in one of the best hitters parks in the majors and almost anywhere else (espcially in the NL) should help his numbers.

Feldman is just an extra arm who may or may not be in the rotation when they break for camp. If not, hes up as an injury replacement. Not like they are banking the franchise on him.
