GOP Bill Would Strip Workers Of Overtime, Minimum Wage Protections
The Houston Astros have filled one of their many holes, inking third baseman Pedro Feliz to a one-year contract reportedly worth $4.5 million. Feliz played the previous two seasons for the World Series representatives from the National League, the Phillies, but they decided to sign Placido Polanco to play third base and let Feliz walk. The addition of Feliz does help the Astros a bit. He has some home run power and is an above-average defender at third base. Still, he's not going to set the world on fire offensively. He hit at least 20 home runs in four straight seasons, but regressed to 12 last season. His career on-base percentage is a dreadful .293 and he can't run. Plus, he's going to turn 35 within the first month of the 2010 season.
The best part about the signing is that it gives the Astros a plus defender at third base who will play every day. The impact he'll have on the offense, however, is pretty minimal.
