Raise your hand if you thought HP would have 4 times as many walks as J-Roll on April 13th.

I demand any future updates put Pedro in a Phillies uniform because I want the world to realize he plays for US!

He seems to play best for our opponents... 8)

I don't like Feliz, but the reflexive dislike so far has been pretty stupid.

He's been decent defensively, unlike everyone else in the infield. And his 4 BB is 5th on the team and only two fewer than Utley.

He's not good, but he's not awful.

Maybe we should have a Ruiz-Rollins-Brunto-meter for their combined 3 BB in 100+ PA

Prior to 2008, Feliz had 3027 PA's and had drawn 138 non-intentional walks. Thats a 4.6% BB rate. This season, he has 49 plate appearances and 4 non-intentional walks, an 8.2% rate. I expect a regression to the mean. And his mean is complete suckitude at the plate. If he continues to catch the ball, I won't complain too much. But he's still not a good baseball player.

Are you discounting that there could be any potential "Charlie effect"??

There could be some effect. But not a doubling of his walk rate.

It's not like the number he is doubling is that large.

You know what we want. but like so many, you can't deliver.

Last year Barajas went from 4.8% to 14.4%, Dobbs went from 4.2% to 8.1%, Werth went from 10.5% to 15.9%, and Helms went from 7.5% to 6.2%. Barajas' jump was 198%, Dobbs 93%, and Werth 50%. Helms had a 17% drop. A 78% gain by Feliz wouldn't be unusual for a new player. While it's a small sample size, 75% of the new players showed an increase. The four of them together averaged a 54% increase. In the walks I've seen he's looked very patient. Of course the pop out to left in the third was a first pitch swing.

The evidence on the Charlie factor isn't conclusive, but it is suggestive.

Heres an idea. Less talk, more work on the Wheelies.
