Dice-stamp

So the legendary career of Dice-K grows today. His debut season has been honored on a stamp, or 10 of them, in Japan.

I couldn't find much info - most notably what they'll look like - but a brief in Japanese newspapers says all the highlights from Dice's 15-12 season will be featured, including his introductory press conference and riding in the victory parade.

The star is thrilled "because I never dreamed of ever appearing on postage stamps."

But what happens if Dice truly shows his worth this season and pitches like the dominant $100 million ace we hope he is? How many stamps will he get in 2009?

In other earth-shattering news: Phils got another scrubby third baseman. That's right, Pedro Feliz and his .288 career average (that's on base, not batting) will be coming to Citizens Bank. Good fielder, pretty much Abraham Nunez with the ability to hit home runs. I used to love him as a reserve in fantasy baseball because he qualified at a bunch of positions. But I'm ho-hum on the acquisition. {Unlike many, I think this is a good thing. He won't require a defensive sub late in games. The left side of that infield is untouchable, meaning fewer balls will get through that Burrell will have to chase after. He has shown that he can hit home runs, so he should tear it up at the Park. Not to mention the fact that Wes Helms is completely expendable now.}
