Phils Sign Pedro Feliz

According to ESPN’s Jayson Stark, the Phillies and Pedro Feliz have agreed to a two-year deal.

According to our skipper:

“We got better,” Manuel said. “He’s a good defensive player. He’s got power. He’ll hit probably sixth, seventh, somewhere in there. I think putting him down in our lineup will help him. He was called on to hit in the middle of the lineup in San Francisco. A couple years ago, he might’ve been pressing to do too much because they had Barry Bonds there.”

Personally I like the signing and it will give us more depth at the hot corner which has been shaky for the past few years.  Most likely the starter, Feliz will probably be platooned with Greg Dobbs at third.  Hopefully this means the end of Wes Helms, thank god.
