Bigger Steal For His Team - Neftali Feliz or Chris Tillman?

[Jaypers]

As you guys know, both pitchers were basically throwins for their respective new teams - Tillman from Seattle to Baltimore, and Feliz from Atlanta to Texas.

Which team would you say got the bigger steal, and why?

JP,
Why would say Tillman was a throw in? I always considered him the 2nd best prospect in that trade behind adam jones....

I think the other thing that we don't always consider is that these teams know their players better than we do. Just because BA and FCB members aren't hyping a prospect, doesn't mean they aren't a stud and a BIG part of a trade.

With that in mind, Feliz was the bigger steal.

I'll rephrase it a bit - Tillman was not the focal point of the trade that sent him to Baltimore.

I'd say right now you'd have to say Tillman. Chris Tillman seems more major league ready.

I think Feliz will turn out to be the better pitcher, but I think Tillman is a bit (a little bit) more advanced right now. Had they been the same age with the same amount of AA innings I would have gone with Feliz.
