September 27, 2008 The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that Ryan Feierabend isn't feeling up to par and he's been scratched from his start in the final game of the year Sunday against the Athletics. Taking his place for the Game 162 wrap-up will be veteran R.A. Dickey. Riggleman said he likes what he's seen from Feierabend looking toward next year and he said Feierabend would have to get a good long look in spring training.
Our View:"I don't think the numbers are indicative of the way he's pitched," Riggleman said of Feierabend, who was 1-4 with a 7.71 ERA in eight starts. He had two quality starts of at least seven innings and a third start in which he went five innings and gave up just one run. Fantasy owners shouldn't have as much confidence in Feierabend as his manager.
September 2, 2008 It took the Texas Rangers just 5.2 innings to record 11 hits and score five times off of pitcher Ryan Feierabend in the Mariners 6-4 loss on Tuesday.
Our View:Feierabend hadn't been too bad in his last two starts, but that certainly wasn't going to last. He is not someone to consider for fantasy purposes, and few players in a Mariners uniform are.
August 27, 2008 They may have posted five runs but the Mariners failed to get the win, falling 6-5 to Minnesota to waste a respectable outing from LHP Ryan Feierabend. Feierabend pitched seven innings, allowing three runs (all earned) on eight hits with two walks and four strikeouts.
Our View:Feierabend walked out of the park with no decision, leaving him at 0-1 over three starts since joining the major league roster. He has walked just three hitters over the course of 15 combined innings, touting 10 strikeouts and one home run surrendered along the way.
August 27, 2008 Ryan Feierabend will make his third start since being called up to replace the injured Carlos Silva on Aug. 17. He allowed one earned run and five hits while striking out five in five innings, but didn't factor in the decision of a 7-5 win over Oakland on Friday.
Our View:However, this will be the southpaw's second start against Minnesota. In his initial encounter with the first place Twins he allowed six runs in three innings of an 11-8 loss in the Metrodome.
August 17, 2008 Ryan Feierabend has been officially called up from Triple-A Tacoma, according to the AP. He will start Sunday in place of the injured Carlos Silva, who has been placed on the 15-day DL due to tendinitis in his right elbow.
Our View:The 22-year-old hurler was 7-1 with a 2.04 ERA over 13 starts with Tacoma. He is worth taking a flier on in deeper AL-only leagues if you need pitching help.
