Memories of Jes�s Feliciano

[Edgy MD]

Backup centerfielder for half of 2010, but spent all of 2011 with Buffalo. Signed away by the Rays.

His foot was born in the bucket, and it never traveled far from it's native region.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He was like, hitting .380 or something at Buffalo forever, and for half-a-second, looked like he might keep on hitting for the Mets.

Of course he didn't.

[Ceetar]

destroyed the WBC too.

Batting average crashed at the end of the year and he ended up missing out on the batting average title by two points, .341 to .339. Congratulations to Gwinnett's Barbaro Canizares.

I bet he sat out the last day and claimed he did it for the fans.

Had a game winning HR against Papelbon and Boston one Friday night IIRC.

When Jeff Francoeur was traded, rather than freeing up time for Jes�s, he was sent down and Lucas Duda called up (to bat .112 or something). It gave Jes�s a chance to get enough at-bats to defend his AAA batting title, but the bat had cooled off.

He played for the Mets when I saw them in Puerto Rico.

[Chad ochoseis]

His cover of "Light My Fire" wasn't half as good as the original.

Or he tripled and scored the winning run against the Diamondbacks on a Saturday night at Shea.

Ensured the Mets would lead the league in Felicianos.

His being dropped from the 40-man pretty quickly after being no worse than anybody else in 2010 seemed to signal there was a new sheriff in town and that Omar's fringe players could get lost.

You're conflating him with Omir Santos.

Jemir Santiciano.

Worst Christmas song ever.

Feliciano? I remember him starting one game against the Phils and getting on 3 or 4 times, though I have no idea when, exactly.

But I'll never forget what they had to do to that Barbaro guy. Horrifying.

Or as my wife calls him, Omar Sanchez.

Nicknamed "Dirty."

[G-Fafif]

And once again, Jes�s Feliciano stares coldly at Omir Santos for pre-emptively stealing all his glory.

[seawolf17]

Man, Omir Santos was a hell of a player. I remember that guy.

Remember Pedro Feliciano, too.

[Edgy MD]

Feliciano's next big league dinger will be his first.

Doomed in the future, I think, to be conflated with Jason Pridie.

"Hey, your credit card says 'Jes�s Feliciano.' I know that name."

"Yeah, I used to play with the Mets."

"Right, back around 2010. You're the one with the really hot wife."

"No, that was the other g... OW! C'mon, Honey, you know who he means."

I was at his first Major League start -

Naturally. Both Latino-sounding names, both left-right-handed-hitting catchoutfielder-types.

[metirish]

Both rather rubbish, that's key.

Omir Santos, Topps Rookie Star.



You can't take that away from me.
