Yes, he'll play third base. I get the feeling the Phillies went this route because:
(1). He's cheaper than what DeRosa and Beltre will go for.
(2). Phillies keep their first round pick.
(3). He's a righty who doesn't strike out that much.
I don't think he's that much of an upgrade over Feliz, but he should break up our heavy lefty lineup a little bit and get on base without changing J-Roll's free-swinging ways.
