in 2009 Feliz posted a .695 OPS which was poor, but he hadn't posted a mark above .717 since the first year-and-a-half of his career way back when. This despite hitting in a highly favorable park and for a championship offense.

He's never gotten on base at all, his .308 OBP in 2009 was actually a career high. It's hard to believe that his fine hot corner glove work could possibly save as many runs as he costs the team at the plate. On a team like Philadelphia which had no problem scoring runs, they could afford to keep the likable Feliz around. But what is the offensively challenged Houston franchise doing bringing in a 35 (in April) year-old veteran who probably wouldn't be much better offensively than a triple-A middle infielder?

Another year older and in the context of the Astro's team, it's hard to be optimistic about Feliz' chances to contribute. .250-45-12-50-0. 450ABs

Positives / Upside	He'll hit a few home runs. Afterall, Minute Maid is a good hitters park and he will visit Coors a couple of times. .255-60-15-70-0. 550ABS
Negatives / Downside	This is all happening with an 85% contact rate. Sure he's striking out less but that's not improving anything and what happens when his bat slows down even a little bit? A .600 OPS? .240-35-10-30-0. 325ABs
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	313
