McTaggart: Feliz acclimating, has friend in fold

The way new Astros third baseman Pedro Feliz sees it, there’s nothing wrong with having a few former Phillies on the roster.

Posted because I forgot that Pedro Feliz was no longer a free agent.

Houston signed Feliz to a one-year, $4.5-million contract last month and pegged him to be its starting third baseman, enabling the Astros to use Geoff Blum in more of a utility role. Feliz, who hit .266 with 12 homers and 82 RBIs in 158 games last year for Philadelphia, is one of four former Phillies who are with the Astros.

The Astros traded for Michael Bourn before the 2008 season and signed outfielder Jason Michaels prior to last season, and both have contracts for 2010.

What? No Geoff Geary?
