DeMarco on Feliz

NBCSports.com is running a story by Tony DeMarco about the 10 players who will fare best as a result of changing teams this offseason. DeMarco has this to say about new Phillies third baseman Pedro Feliz:

The guy was metronome-like with the bat as a Giant, wasn’t he? Wind him up, and for the last four years, there wasn’t much variance in his numbers: Hits — 139, 142, 147, 141; home runs — 22, 20, 22, 20; runs — 72, 69, 75, 61; RBI: 84, 81, 92, 71; and batting average — .276, .250, .244, .253.

And now he moves from the second-toughest home run park in the NL over the last three seasons to the biggest launching pad — Citizens Bank Park — with a dangerous lineup around him. A 25-30 home-run season should result, and the RBI total should rise, too.
