Taylor Featherston

when the Dodgers played the Angels, Vin Scully mentioned that Featherston was a very good college player ---

 

as a Rule 5 guy from Colorado, we had to keep him on the 25 man roster all season long to keep him and so the Halos did.

 

In doing so, I think the Halos weakened the 2015 roster and didn't do Featherston's career much help as he sat the pine most of the season instead of playing every day at AAA

 

He would have been up on a major league roster in September with whatever team he would have been with -- Rule 5 or not ---

 

I would have kept Grant Green on the 25 man roster coming out of ST (and sent Featherston back to Colorado) and said so at the time. By the half way point of the season with Featherston hardly playing at, getting few ABs, not much defensive replacement time and some PR but not much -- it was too late to do anything but keep him as a Rule 5 guy at that point. 

 

It's fairly certain that Featherson isn't going to be the starting 2B or SS next season -- that's why you devote a season long roster spot to a Rule 5 guy.

 

Totally agree with this. It's not Featherston's fault at all that he is where he is, and he's doing the best that he can. However the Angels did the team, and him, a disservice by keeping him on the MLB roster this year, Rule 5 or not. It did absolutely nothing for the team.
