I am an unabashed Philadelphia Phillies fan, so opening day always brings immense joy followed by unbelievable pain. Today’s up-and-down loss to the Washington Nationals was no different.

But at least I got to be proven right amongst my circle of Phillie fan friends — as I often am when it comes to the front office’s often boneheaded decisions.

When the Phillies signed former Giants third baseman Pedro Feliz to a contract this offseason, it was lauded as a move that would give the Phils the pop they needed from third base and a fancy glove, to boot, supposedly replacing defensive wizard  Abraham Nunez with a guy who wasn’t a black hole in the lineup.

Immediately, I said the traditional thinking was wrong, and that Feliz was a terrible hitter despite his decently impressive power numbers. The numbers prove me pretty much right, at least, showing how overrated the home run is in baseball if the guy can’t do anything else. Feliz can’t take a walk, and makes more outs than pretty much everyone in the sport. In baseball, a hitter’s job is to not get out, and Feliz does that worse than almost every other player. It’s insane. I mean, in 2007, Feliz had a lower on-base percentage than Nunez, which is practically certifiably impossible for a guy that hit 20 dingers.

Today, Feliz’s stellar line: 0-4, GIDP, 2K, 3 men left on base

The guy is a jabroni. Plain and simple. Feliz is a guy that can single-handedly bring that word back into the limelight.

Rock, we miss you.
