A quick post this morning on the defense from 2002-2008. Thanks to FanGraphs for making bUZR publicly available. I’ve really had a lot of fun looking through the data. I decided to use bUZR from the years 2002-2008 to find the best and worst defender on each Giants team in each year. My criteria was [...]

Or something… The unbelievable has happened, Pedro Feliz will not be a Giant in 2008. The Phillies, who actually had an enormous hole at third base, lured away Pedro Feliz for a 2 year $8.5M contract that can run up to 3-years and $15M depending on incentives.

Words from Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle: Pedro Feliz apparently is gone, with Sabean saying, “We made a two-year offer, which he rejected. We’ve pretty much moved on from there.” There are other third baseman coming off [...]

Nothing like arbitration news! to spice up the monotony of winter baseball. The Giants have recently made their decisions on who’s getting arbitration and who isn’t, from SFGiants.com: The Giants announced late Saturday night that they offered salary arbitration to third baseman Pedro Feliz, although this hardly assured that the free agent would return to [...]

A quick blurb from GM Brian Sabean in a recent MLB.com article detailing the Omar Vizquel signing: “Third base is what we’re presently going to work on,” Sabean said. “I think that definitely has to be the first thing we try to address.” Sabean said that Feliz, who has averaged 21 home runs and 84 [...]
