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?
