Feldman has one of the lowest hard contact rates in baseball, with a very sold xFIP. He's a solid pick up and we gave up next to nothing. Same with Benoit. Essentially all of our moves have some sort of gamble to them, but they are all low risk high reward. It seems as though you would have preferred giving up top prospects (the few we have to work with) for mild MLB upgrades. Considering how expensive the market was, and how some teams extremely overpaid, Shatkins did a great job of finding ways to improve the club (both now and in the future) without overspending. This deadline wasn't flashy or sexy, but neither was the market.
