Felix Hernandez - becoming what we thought he was?

[Odraca]

Felix Hernandez pitches for the seattle mariners and has all the potential in the world to be Cy young winner this year, his first outing looked great, he showed a lot of maturity on the road and i see this underratted and overlooked pitcher to make a killing on the books this year, seattle is scoring runs with a new coaching philosophy and new veterans like griffey and sweeney. as well as Brandon Morrow moving to the bullpen to hopefully be a star, even though he was drafted to be a starter, he has a strong fastball and should be able to save some games.

just calling it now, Felix Hernandez win 15 games this year, with ERA of UNDER 3.0

Today... I would not crown him yet!

[vitalogist]

to his credit, he had one bad inning where he struggled badly with control... and our catcher jobbed him pretty hard, resulting in a couple of the runs... his strikeout pitch was working tonight... he will rebound!

felix is overrated and seattle did not win that game because of him....

[vitalogist]

Did I say he won us the game? No. If he shows enough mental toughness (unlike his countryman and idol, Freddy Garcia), he has a chance to be something special. So maybe you're a bitter Ranger, Angel, or A's fan, but Felix is only 21, and has more talent than 99.999999% of pitchers his age.

That being said, these 2009 Mariners are improved, and might just have a shot at 85 or so wins that could be enough to contend in a crappy division.

so there.

Felix needs to be on a better team to win 15 games. Put him on the Yanks or Red Sox and he wins 20 games.

[vitalogist]

a pitchers' wins is a useless stat....

bump for felix in allstar game, 8-3 with era under 3,
