Phillies Pick Up Cliff Lee's Option

Shocking, just shocking news! Full Zolecki tweet: "Phillies pick up Cliff Lee's option. Haven't decided on Pedro Feliz. Have until Monday to make that decision." We've got to hope Ruben Amaro Jr. makes the right call on Feliz and dumps him.

Feliz...

I’m first in line to criticize some of his horrible AB’s, but he’s outstanding defensively.

I’m not a huge fan, but the question is… What else is out there?

This was just short of a metaphysical certainty, but still… glad to hear it.

what about derosa

I just saw on espn.com he will be available? He is able to play plenty of other positions as well to give other guys a day off and have dobbs take a game at 3rd if he is back?

Myers gone

Linky

Something clearly seemed physically wrong with Myers this season and parts of last season. His velocity was down and his location was spotty.

I guess it would have been worth offering him arbitration, but then again, I hated him so much that I’m kinda glad to see him gone.

Worthy of its own post, I think.

If only to give all the jokes about his ten cent head and other proclivities their own home

figgens and beltre sound like great additions, they can both hit better than feliz, but defense wise, i dont know

eff you we winning anyway

Beltre is a terrific third baseman. Figgins is also very good. We wouldn’t be downgrading at all.

any chance we pick up the option and see what we can get for him? I feel like there may be a couple teams interested in a 5mil feliz.

Correct me if I’m wrong but if we don’t give the $5M option then we are buying him out for $500k? It seems like a risky move to not exercise the option. You could basically look at it as needing to find a team interested in a $4.5M Feliz.
