We may not be talking about reliever Durbin Feltman as a prospect in the Boston Red Sox system for very long.
The third-round pick in this year’s draft enters a system thin of talent at the minor league level, and a growing need for relief pitching at the big league level. Questions persist surrounding current right-handed relievers Matt Barnes and Heath Hembree. Despite some solid results from those two, plus Joe Kelly and Craig Kimbrel, the need for another shutdown arm in the late innings has been the talk of the team since Opening Day.
