I've been following Felix since he was 16....
….not his fault the Mariners want to develop him this wy. In the long run, I think its going to work out well.
They don't want to take the chance...
…becuz he happens to be one of the best in the game on just his fastball.
Wow,
…you have the sickest young talent in your backyard and you are completely missing the boat.
No, seriously.
His fastball is bad. There have been countless articles on this very subject here.
A good fastball requires more than just velocity. Felix has never had command over it.
I see.
So he’s a league leader in Ks and ERA, while throwing a “bad pitch” as much as 80% of the time sometimes.
Geezis, you guys don’t deserve Felix.
If you're using ERA as a metric
you clearly have never read anything on LL before.
You’re also not smarter than Jeff/Matthew/Graham.
Lol....
…I fully understand ERA. For a kid his age, to be ranked where he is, throwing a highly predictable pitching sequence, is remarkable.
Don’t be a saber-dork with me. Felix is unreal, and if you don’t know it, then you wouldn’t know a sick young player if he punched you in the face.
You're wrong.
Do you think we haven’t talked about this a million times?

I’ve got a crap ton of links to sort through. It’s interesting to read some analysis that either confirms ideas you’ve had about the game, or even better gives you a different angle to view it from. Statistical analysis can give me the piles, but it’s better than arguing era and rbi’s at the coffee shop.

I'm disappointed with our September callups this year
This sometimes happens when the teams call up players it would like to promote instead of the players who might be more ready to come up but a little older. Players like Victor Diaz, Prentice Redman, Kevin Howard and Craig Wilson could have been ready to make more of an impact. The players we have up right now are showing more and more each game that they are just not ready. Also some different pitchers would be nice to see like Chris Jakukauskas and maybe Phillippe Aumont, if he’s healthy.
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Corcotopia and Washingtonhighways.org
But it would be nice to showcase their trade value
Maybe we could get a frontline starter back for some of them
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Corcotopia and Washingtonhighways.org
And it's just not right
It is stupid to use young players for the half of the starting line ups. To play in the major league is not so easy. They should have started as a pinch runner or a pinch hitter and leave good results. They just take for granted their chance to play in major league without leaving any results. I am afraid that all the veteran guys would be disappointed with the team and go away.
