So why are the Phillies looking to add offense, when they already dominate the NL in most offensive categories? To do so at the expense of Pedro Feliz’ glove is a crime, as dude is one of the best three baggers in the game. Speculation is that they will try to sign free agent Adrian Beltre, who would certainly have the potential to be a huge offensive upgrade over Feliz. Beltre, however, has not hit over 30 homers since 2004 in which he belted 48 of them. That is also the only year he did manage to hit over 30, by the way, and in 2009 he only managed eight in an injury plagued season that saw him play in only 111 games.
Here at The Sports Idiot we think that the Phillies should have picked up this option. The Phillies failed to ask us for our opinion, and have yet to return calls that we have not placed to them.
