You Say Feliz, I Say Felipe, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off: Desperate for a third baseman due to extreme fidgetiness on the part of Tony LaRussa—Felipe Lopez having apparently worn out his hot corner welcome—the Cardinals trade for Pedro Feliz, owner of the lowest True Average in all of the majors among hitters with at least 300 plate appearances (.203). The move is sold as a defense-based one, though various metrics suggest Lopez has actually been average at third this year, with Feliz a few runs to the bad; it doesn't help that Lopez is hitting just .141/.273/.172 this month. Feliz, of course, quickly takes to his new surroundings with three straight two-hit games, though the Cards can't keep pace with the Reds in the NL Central race.
