Phillies decline option on Pedro Feliz
by Eric Schwartz
It looks like someone new will be playing the hot corner next season for the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Phillies announced that they have declined their $5.5 million 2010 option on third baseman Pedro Feliz.
Although General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said he won’t rule out bringing back Feliz, it looks as though the Phillies will look at the free agent market when it comes to finding a replacement.
The list of quality free agents is not a deep one. It is headlined by the likes of Adrian Beltre, Rich Aurilia, Mark DeRossa, Chone Figgins, Troy Glaus, Mark Loretta and Melvin Mora.
Feliz hit .266 with 12 home runs and 82 RBIs last season and provided excellent defense. With the firepower in the Phils bench many though resigning Feliz would be wise, given his defensive abilities.
It is unclear where the Phillies will go, but market does not provide much in way of a quality replacement.
