Felix Pena

[Revad]

Have we overlooked him?  Does he belong in the rotation?

[bloodbrother]

He is in the rotation. He's taking Heaney's spot since he's starting on the DL

[DMVol]

He belongs....been in the picture all along because he was solid last year...

[Taylor]

I only watched the first inning, but his pitches looked filthy. 

[Revad]

I sort of forgot him, with the new acquisitions. I thought he was very strong last year.

I realize that.  But is he one of the best five starters including Heaney.

Struck out 9 Dodgers from their A lineup today, just 1 ER over 3 innings.

How did we acquire him?

Minor deal from the Cubs...

I think Pena has a chance to be one of our better starters this season, especially with the instruction of our new pitching coach. 

Outside of 2 bad starts last year, he was consistently pretty darn good.

he was acquired for cash considerations or a PTBNL.  anyone know what the end result to out to be? @Jeff Fletcher, perhaps?

I don't think Jeff Fletcher was the PTBNL.

Cash Considerations is a cool dude. I don't get why the Angels keep trading him away, only to acquire him a couple weeks later.

Just cash

I’d actually be shocked if he didn’t outperform Trevor Cahill

Literally stupid money. The Cubs could probably use him.

Do you remember when you gave me crap about my grammar?

His stuff is very good.  

Fastball is firm with good movement and it's effective when elevated
Curve and slider have good depth.  Slider is sharp.  Curve was just enough of an off speed to keep guys off balance.  
Change was very good tonight.  good sink with arm side movement.  

loses his mechanics pretty easily.  if he were more consistent, he'd be very dangerous.

I have no idea either.

My concern with him is injury. Both Bridwell and Ramirez crumbled a year after Eppler converted them to the rotation. I know we don’t have a choice right now, but hopefully they find a way to keep him fresh as the summer goes on so he doesn’t become a key piece we rely on only to go down in August after the deadline.

According to the OC Register article this morning, he added the change during the off-season.

If he does ever keep the mechanics consistent enough, a solid #3 in the rotation?
