Rosenthal's Latest: Feliz, Ellis, Lohse

Ken Rosenthal checks in with a new column of hot stove material.

• Rosenthal says some suitors are popping up for third baseman Pedro Feliz: the Dodgers, Brewers, Phillies, and Giants.  Phillies Assistant GM Ruben Amaro Jr. confirmed interest today in an MLB.com chat.  Rosenthal admits that the Dodgers don't seem like a great fit.  He says Bill Hall would have to be traded to make room for Feliz, though Tom Haudricourt implied today that Hall would stay put.  It was said Wednesday that the Giants' talks with Feliz were stalling over his three-year demand.
• Rosenthal suggests Mark Ellis would be a nice fit for Colorado, though keep in mind that the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser told us that he was the best bet among veterans to remain with Oakland for 2008.  The Rockies' current plan is to go with Jayson Nix and keep Marcus Giles around as another option.  I'd be surprised if either pans out.
• Instead of the four or even five-year demands we were hearing about for Kyle Lohse, Rosenthal says three years with a vesting option for the fourth would now be acceptable.  He believes Lohse's salary could near $12MM.  Lohse recently said he's down to about three suitors.
• Rosenthal still expects the A's to sign a free agent outfielder, with possible target Mike Cameron headed to Milwaukee.  Take a look at our newly updated free agent list to see who's out there.
