Cardinals Acquire Pedro Feliz

It’s no secret the Cardinals have been looking for third base help. Today they went out and acquired Pedro Feliz from the Houston Astros for Class A prospect David Carpenter. What do you Cardinal fans think of this? Let’s take a look at some of his stats:

Feliz is a career .252 hitter with a 20 HR and 80 RBI potential.
Since leaving SF in 2007 he has not hit over 20 HR’s in a season.
He’s a solid 3B defensively.
He’s 35 years old from the Dominican Republic.

I’m not super excited about adding Feliz. To me he seems a lot like Felipe Lopez and Allen Craig. Just average. Sure, I know we can’t afford to have a star at every position. But Brandon Inge and a few others were out there for the signing. Feliz just seems to be kind of pointless in my opinion. He doesn’t get us over the hump.

Curious to hear what you other Cardinal fans think. Like the signing?

Look around the blog world

Lots of off season stuff being bantered about by some great bloggers. I don’t feel very creative tonight so I am going to point you in the direction of some other Cardinal blogs that are terrific to read.

Erik at Gas House Graphs gives some great stats as to why the Gold Glove awards is a mockery. He does a great job convincing this fan.

Cardinal 70 pipes in on the Rolen rumors that he may be dealt this winter. I agree with him that a healthy Scott Rolen is better than most other players. I we get blown away with an offer, we have to do it.

Always a good read is Viva El Birdos and they also discuss Rolen but in the light that we need young pitching and if he can bring that to the Cardinals they would be better off for the future.

The Cardinals were recently sued by a teenager that attended a game. It seems a “Mean Girls” type message appeared on the message board. Cardinal Nation Globe has some more information for you. This is sad.

I read a new blog. New for me that is. Stan Musial’s Stance discuss how the Major Leagues conducts business. A meeting to discuss what will be discussed at the real meeting. A good read. I will continue to read this one.

there are many more Cardinal blogs out there. This is just a sampling of the best fans in America writing about their passion. The St. Louis Cardinals.
