In an attempt to fill a big void at third base, the Phillies went out and signed the best third baseman on the market (that is, whatever was left of it). Feliz is a much better real player than he is fantasy player, but there is still value here. Feliz is a terrific defensive third baseman, and according to defensive analytical statistics, he was actually the best defensive third baseman in baseball last season. He also has some pop too.

It wasn't exactly the same as Carl Crawford's steal from third earlier in the season, but it will look the same in the boxscore. It was Alou's second stolen base of the season. Over the last 14 days, Moises Alou is hitting .386 with 5 HR, 7 Runs and 16 RBI. The man can still play when healthy.
