Phreedom! Phreedom!

As of January 28, 2007, Giants fans will no longer grind their teeth at the sight of Pedro Feliz swinging at a slider.

Instead, Phillies fans will.

The deal just keeps getting better:

1. The Giants will receive a compensation sandwich pick since Feliz was a Type B free agent. The pick will be 37th overall.
2. Third base is Kevin Frandsen's to lose, assuming that Bochy will start Ray Durham at second to wring out any last drops of value as trade bait.
3. Angel Villalona isn't blocked.
   

Sayonara, Feliz! We'll miss your overlooked Gold Glove defense at third, your willingness to strap on catcher's gear, and your power. The strikeouts and non-walks, not so much. Hopefully the East Coast bias will award you with that Gold Glove you deserve.
