It seems the folks at philliesnation.com aren’t crazy about the Pedro Feliz signing. A career .252 hitter with a sub .300 on base percentage is questionable. He is supposed to be a stud defensively. We’ll see. Typical Phillies signing.
Meanwhile, the Mets have agreed with the Twins on acquiring two time Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana. Looks like we need to reevaluate the Phils as the favorites to win the NL East. Oh well, at least we get to watch the Giants play in the Super Bowl.
Yesterday’s signing of Pedro Feliz showed that Phillies fans are divided, with many of the same points surfacing:
Good deal:
- Feliz will give you more power than Greg Dobbs and Wes Helms.
- Dobbs is a much better pinch hitter than third baseman.
- Feliz’s glove will help the pitching possibly as much as adding a back-end guy.
Bad deal:
- Feliz has a terrible on-base percentage and hacks at everything.
- Helms should turn around at least part of his bad play in 2007.
- Funds should’ve been allocated toward pitching.
