Noel: Okafor and I can do great things - Joel Embiid (C) Philadelphia 76ers

The Tigers announced the news on Saturday morning, though we've not yet heard if Feliz was able to extract more than the MLB minimum. Either way, Detroit is wasting absolutely no time in adding Feliz to the roster. He will join the team today in Minneapolis and perhaps be available if needed against the Twins this afternoon. Detroit whiffed on cheap reclamation relief pitchers Joel Hanrahan and Jim Johnson last year, but Feliz is a bit more tantalizing, even if some wonder if he'll ever be effective again. Since his Tommy John surgery late in 2012, Feliz's fastball velocity has fallen from 96.
