... not a 3B, but would switch positions here). Many are wondering if he is an upgrade at all over Pedro Feliz – and I say yes. Defensively, Feliz was one of the top third basemen at his position, until you delve deeper into the numbers. Using John Dewan’s Fielding Bible, you’ll notice that Feliz was a plus-5 this season. If you’re unfamiliar with the Plus/Minus stat, it...

... they could be tempted to make this move if they were to grab Chone Figgins , Adrian Beltre or Pedro Feliz off the free-agent market. But with the strong possibility that Freddie Freeman could be ready to assume his role as the everyday first baseman by the start of the 2011 season, where would you then play Chipper during the final two years of his contract? Ken Gurnick, Dodgers :...

RP - Sergio Escalona - $400K RP - Kyle Kendrick - $475K Other commitments: Adam Eaton - $500K, Pedro Feliz - $500K, Geoff Jenkins - $1.25MM The Phillies have about $120MM committed before arbitration raises to Ruiz, Victorino, Blanton, Durbin, and Condrey.

... Obviously, I don’t have a crystal ball, but a few of the names that the Sun mentioned are Pedro Feliz, Adrian Beltre (he’d be a good glove, but his heyday with the Dodgers are long gone), Carlos Delgado (intriguing, but his age scares me), and guys like Rich Harden and Erik Bedard. I guess other players I could see the Orioles targeting are Russell Branyan, Chad Tracy, Joe Crede,...

The Phillies are targeting free agent Adrian Beltre, according to Randy Miller of the Bucks County Courier Times. Money could be an issue; Beltre, 30, could be seeking a four-year deal. Additionally, Beltre is represented by Scott Boras. Mark DeRosa, a personal favorite of Charlie Manuel, is still an option as well as Placido Polanco and Pedro Feliz. A [...]

... deal." The Phillies are shopping around for someone to man the hot corner after turning down Pedro Feliz's option, and the 30-year-old Beltre seems like a natural fit given his excellent defense and solid bat, assuming his shoulder is healthy.

... With Bruntlett gone, Park maybe going elsewhere to start instead of staying a reliever , and Pedro Feliz becoming a free agent this team’s facial hair quota is in serious question. I find extreme facial hair to be vital to any winning ball club. The Yankees are the only exception to this rule but hey, they use steroids. So thanks Beardo for scoring those winning runs, stepping up...

... from the back of the order. It's fun to watch the faces of casual fans when I tell them what Pedro Feliz hit with runners in scoring position (.336), because it sure seemed like he was ending a whole lot of innings with 5-4-3 doubleplays. (He hit into 12 doubleplays in 2009.)Although not quite to the extent of Rollins, Feliz ranked low in on-base percentage and OPS among NL...

* There are 16 free-agent third basemen. The most topical for Phillies purposes is Pedro Feliz, who showed up in Charlie Manuel's starting lineup in 158 of 162 regular-season games coming off back surgery. The rocket-armed veteran gave Ryan Howard letter-high throws at first and was the most productive No. 7 hitter in the NL with 82 RBI while leading the Phillies with a .336 average when...

... I don't think the Phillies are looking at him as such.Keep in mind that two candidates to replace Pedro Feliz at third base are Placido Polanco and Mark DeRosa, both of whom have played extensively at second base. And while the Phillies do not view Greg Dobbs as an everyday third baseman, they do contend - at least publicly - that they are comfortable starting him there occasionally....
