Adios, Pedro, and good luck in Japan
Finally, even Brian "Brainiac" Sabean can see what everyone else has known for years -- Pedro Feliz is a utility player at best and not a very good one at that.
What other team would keep on giving over 500 at bats a year to a corner infielder with only moderate power who can't even manage a .300 OBP? So thanks for wasting the last five years acting as if he were the second coming of Mike Schmidt instead of the second coming of Steve Ontiveros -- who was a pretty crappy corner infielder for the Orange and Black in the early 1970s who wound up his career with six years as a Seibu Lion in Japan.
Thanks for the all-too-infrequent thrill, Pedro. If you're going to insist on a three-year deal, I'd be practicing my Japanese.
Unfortunately, Stupid Sabean is also telling the SF Chron's Henry Schulman -- after asserting that Daniel Ortmeier and Kevin Fransden are going to get real shots -- that he still wants to waste money and at bats on the worthless Tony Clark.
UPDATE on Jan. 25 -- A poster named Frank pointed out that I missed the word "precludes" in Schulman's copy and that Sabean is actually saying something intelligent -- that the presence of Aurilia precludes the signing of a Tony Clark-type player.

I think you misread the article - or I did. Schulman says that the presence of Aurilia "precludes" the signing of a Tony Clark type player.
Thanks, Frank. I got that part of it wrong.
