This move is designed to eventually give the Rangers a K-Rod [for the Angels in 2002] or a Joba for the short-term [in case Feliz is called up], giving the young man an opportunity to eventually pitch in the Major Leagues on a gradual basis as opposed to expecting to throw him out to the wolves [where despite his stuff and potential, will probably be exposed].
However, the GM's statement doesn't indicate anything about whether or not Feliz somehow is destined to stick in the bullpen forever.
There isn't anything to be worried about Feliz' prospect status unless he is injured or something.
