Carlos Febles was demoted today. He was one of my picks to click this year, but after partially tearing a ligament in his knee he never got started after 44 days on the DL.
He has shown absolutely no capacity to stay healthy in the big leagues, but he is immensely talented. The original prognosis after the tear was for a return after the All Star Break. If you’re in need of some second half fire I think he’s a guy who might come cheap and then burn it up for a month or two. But he’s extremely risky and could easily reaggravate the knee and choose surgery sooner rather than later.
If you’re in dire straits and need to make some desperation plays, he’s your guy.
