'I have been working on that,' Ogando said. 'I know I get into a little trouble with two strikes. I'm working on throwing my fastball high, and my slider in the dirt. It's starting to work a little bit.' He has given up two runs and six hits while walking two and striking out five in five innings this spring.

'The decision on Neftali is going to come down to what's best long-term for him and the club,' general manager Jon Daniels said. 'There's a short-term component as well and trading Frankie has to impact our thinking a little bit. If we were convinced in a period of time that he could become an upper rotation starter, then I think we'll put him in the rotation. We thought about the impact of this trade on that, but we were comfortable because of what Mike brings.'

If the transition for Feliz is successful, SP Derek Holland would likely be moved to the bullpen, with RPs Frank Francisco and Alexi Ogando battling for the closer's role.
